Actually,FSM did release "Conrack" on a single CD with "The Paper Chase" and "The Poseidon Adventure".I'd love to see a release of any of the others you mentioned,though,especially "Pete 'N' Tillie'.
it was only the main title. The TT BLuray features an isolated score + FX track, which I think could be released too. It's not SFX heavy, and it would not be the first time music + FX would be released on cd.
Of course since it's a short score, (i think 20 minutes at most but I'm not sure), it could be coupled with something else.

I have that CD, coupled with Poseidon Adventure and Paper Chase. My first ever LE score purchase.
I would not be averse to a re-issue with the music + SFX track from the BD, coupled with a remaster of Paper Chase (some cues of which were in mono), and with decent flipper cover art for both scores.
In mean, if Seconds and Fitzwilly can get expanded releases with dialogue bleed on some tracks, then a few stray SFX aren't going to bother (based on my recollection of the film from a TV viewing in the 80's, can't be much more than a few crickets, birds chirping and possible chalk sounds on a blackboard).
Isn't the problem Williams himself (or who the hell are his 'people'), taking a more vested interested in releases, re-issues and expansions now. Lots of stuff is ready to go, but not until JW sanctions it. And efforts to re-record DRACULA and STORY OF A WOMAN have been nixed by the Master himself.

I don't know about that. I only know that he didn't want Sugarland Express released. Also Mr. Fitzpatrick had said some time ago that he wanted to record Dracula but some label had other plans for it. Although we have not heard anything since.
