I once got an email from someone about this saying they had obtained a rare advance copy (HAHA) of this set from "an Uncle who works at a major label".
Apparently, and I'm trying not to laugh until I choke, they said:
"A promotional copy of the set has been pressed and advance copies will be sent to two separate vendors next week. I will most likely receive one of these (as i have requested it) but be warned it is pretty rare!"
When I pressed a little further (obviously I fell for this convincing story...), they replied:
"I'm sorry, due to a privacy agreement (i had to sign a disclaimer) i was asked not to share any information about this yet. Copyright usage is still in disputes and i was told that there's a chance it might never go to mass pressing. Needless to say a 2 disc promo of the album exists, i hold it in my hands! Cover artwork and inside liner notes were also prepared as a one-sheet. I can tell you there are lots of rareties on this, but nothing from Rabbits and Rogues [sic] or The Overeager Overture unfortunately.  Still it is a worthy entry in the series and sums up about 12 years of scores! Due to the policy waiver i can't share the exact content on the discs though, sorry. It is probably best if you keep this information to yourself and hopefully settlements will be resolved and it will get a proper release in due time."
HAHAHAHA.
In fact it is a fan-made compilation with standard, already available selections from Elfman's scores and rarities cobbled together from various sources. The obvious homemade artwork uses the MCA Soundtracks logo, however I don't think they're even around anymore.
So in short, it's fake and I get crazy e-mails. All the time!

Goblin, if it's fake, those aren't Elfman's notes.

Not to mention:
NACHO LIBRE - 1 track on the CD covered with dialog, but Elfman wrote a full and partially rejected score.
NOTORIOUS - Main title on the album, the rest of this brief score is unreleased.
HEARTBREAKERS - Elfman wrote the themes, perhaps there is a nice concert presentation of them or demo.
MY FAVORITE MARTIAN - Same as above.
DEEP SEA 3D - Sure it's just Serenada reworked, but Elfman was at the sessions and there may be some original material co-composed with Debbie W.
If anything, I'd say the main impediment to a Volume 3 is that there's TOO MUCH out there even for a 2-disc set. Even if it only contained officially unreleased stuff it would be packed to the gills.
Yeah, I forgot those, although I wouldn't necessarily include HEARTBREAKERS and MARTIAN. Elfman only composed the "Heartbreakers Theme" for the former and "Uncle Martin's Theme" for the latter, and these are both incorporated into Debney's respective scores with regular intervals. I doubt there exists fuller "concert" versions of these, but if it does - by all means, let's hear them!

Nacho Libre was not rejected. Elfman was completely pissed that director Jared Hess didn't know in what direction the music was going to go. Remember Elfman's score is a replacement for a rejected score written by of all people Beck! When Elfman found out that Hess was going to use some cues from Beck's score as well as Elfman's, he immediately wanted his name off the credits and it was Richard Kraft who convinced him not to and came up with a compromise and if you look at the fim's' End Credits, you'll see a track by track listing of what cues of Elfman's were featured in the film along side Beck's. At least this is the story I remember, but Elfman did write a full score for it and it was one of the scores I was eagerly awaiting that year. Only Kraft can actually confirm more of the behind the scenes stuff that we probably don't know about.
If there was another MFADT Volume, Nacho Libre would be one he probably wouldn't put on it considering his experience on the film. Then again he had a problem on Anywhere But Here, but since he's scored Taking Woodstock for Ang Lee, looks like they've mended fences. After all, it's been exactly ten years since he score ABH.
