Merge Multiple Albums within iTunes

I am trying to Merge Multiple Albums within iTunes. I am uploading the Inspired By... The Bible Experience which I have
on 77 disks total. Each time I upload a disk it creates a new album. Instead of having so many Albums in my iTunes I want to combine it in to two Albums (Old &
New Testament). Can I do that & if so what is the best way to do that?

iPad Air, iOS 8.3

iTunes will group albums if:

all tracks have the same value in the Artist field and the same value in the Album field, or
all tracks have the same value in the Album Artist field and the same value in the Album field, or
all tracks have the same value in the Album field and have the Album is a compilation ... flag checked

In your case, you should - after inserting each disc but before importing to iTunes:

Set the Album field to a common value, which will be the same for all discs
Set the Artist field to a common value, which will be the same for all discs or if discs/individual tracks have distinct values for Artist, set the Album Artist field to a common value
Set the disc number value to a distinct value for each disc in sequence (1, 2, 3, ...)
