I feel like one of these will be a Fellini score by Nino Rota. Of the Oscar-winning Fellini films, Rota's "La Strada" is in most need of a remastering and re-release, if better materials are available now. It was previously released on CD in the 1990s and the sound is terrible (luckily it was paired with "Nights of Cabiria," which has good sound and I believe was complete [or close to it], so the CD wasn't a complete bust).
The score for "8 1/2" has always needed an expansion - at least two essential cues are entirely missing from the CAM album, and several cues are truncated on the album. And it's possible that an expansion of "8 1/2" would include a wealth of alternate/unused cues, similar to "La Dolce Vita."
Also on the subject of Nino Rota and Oscars, I wonder if Quartet was able to pull off liscensing "The Godfather" scores? If so, then that will be a huge deal, particularly for the first score, which is missing some great cues and the sound quality has always left a lot to be desired.
Yet another Rota possibility is a re-release/remaster/expansion of the "Romeo and Juliet" OST.
I think Francis Lai's "Love Story" would benefit greatly from remastering, and I believe it's been out of print for many years. A great score.

a re-release/remaster/expansion of morricones "the mission" soundtrack would be a dream come true!

Slint,
Interesting, I didn't know about how hard it has been to release scores from Dino De Laurentiis productions. A good portion of the "La Strada" half of that Intermezzo CD is taken directly from a VHS tape of the film, and needless to say those tracks sound even worse than the cues that come from the recording. It would be great if the rights issues were worked out and better-sounding tapes of "La Strada" surfaced.
I don't believe there is very much additional music in "Amarcord" that isn't on the CAM CD, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of alternates. It's also a great score, so I'd be interested in what a Quartet release would look like, but I think "8 1/2" is a higher priority.
Regarding Delerue's "Day for Night," I believe there is only about 10-15 minutes of music in the film, unless I'm mistaken, and I thought most or all of it ended up on the 2004 Universal France CD "Le France Cinéma De François Truffaut."

I hope you're right about Rota, but I suspect it's a little soon for another Fellini. Please prove me wrong, Quartet!
I believe the remaining Fellini/Rotas that CAM released are IL BIDONE, 8 1/2, GIULIETTA DEGLI SPIRITI, CLOWNS, AMARCORD, CASANOVA, and ORCHESTRA REHEARSAL. My guess is that they would prioritize 8 1/2 or GIULIETTA (my personal favorite), but I'd gladly buy any of them.

I'm horrible at guessing these, but do love reading what people are thinking of. I'm sure it will be another group of great releases

You can count of a number of those older foreign films having a wealth of alternates.

Something I had secretly hoped for was Hateful Eight...expanded and with all the awful movie sound clips erased from it.
I'm a big fan of that score, but putting the dialogue on the CD was such a terrible idea; it's as though Tarantino just HAD to insinuate himself somewhere on that CD.
There's GOTTA be a reissue someday of it...(praying).
