It might seem a bit weird but my response to this one is to suggest a chronological re-release of the first 10 scores that Yavar listed.
Generally, older scores require more work to prepare for soundtrack release than newer ones. That’s not an absolute and isn’t meant as a comment with specificity on these scores. But I think in saving the past from the future, it’s often worthy to start back as far as we can.
Doing so also gets us to include a theoretically new edition of Medicine Man, which I think was a great blend of orchestra and synths, beautifully recorded by Mike Ross-Trevor.

Truth is I'm extatic and happy beyond words to finally have U.S.MARSHALS because it was the holiest of my holy grails.
But hey, let's be greedy...  So would say I definitelly want ALONG CAME A SPIDER Complete (with the End Credits assamble).
Also HOLLOW MAN which I believe has some additional unreleased cues worth having and would make a terrific new 2CD set.
Plus finally, why not a dream project: the Complete Jerry Goldsmith's 13TH WARRIOR + the Rejected Graeme Revell score.

Well personally, I wouldn't want ANY of his titles at Varese. They are the most subpar label of any. Why do we have to have the best titles in their entirety on LIMITED CD CLUB only releases? VS are a bunch of thieves who's only mainstream releases these days are film scores to bad movies by millenial filmmakers who don't really know what they're doing, and are completely unmemorable. They only put out half hour soundtracks of the REPUTABLE composers. I swear I will never understand them.
Take Delores Claiborne - that should have been expanded YEARS ago! It's a damn pity that it took so long and probably would HAVE been released completely were it not for VS stupid perpetuity rights! I am so sick of them sitting on all these good titles and then releasing them limited. Outrageous.
So no, I don't want ANY Goldsmith, Williams, or any of the other "classic" composers from Varese. They aren't worthy of producing these great masters' work.

1) The Other (1972) - Great score that really carries the film. This must be released complete and in improved sound.
2) Damien: Omen II (1978) - This score needs to be restored in good sound quality.
3) The 13th Warrior (1999) - Would be great if including Goldsmith's complete (plus Revell unused score if possible).
4) Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) complete, with Debney's music.
5) Timeline (2003)
6) Along Came a Spider (2001) - not a particular favorite but has a lot of music missing from the 30 min album.
7) Hollow Man (2000)
8) Medicine Man (1992)
9) The Mephisto Waltz (1971)
10) Malice - not very much missing but I think it is a great underrated score that I'd like to have complete with the few missing bits.
Keeping in mind what I had posted above - I do believe these listed scores deserve a remastering so that they sound crisp and clear.

I think this just isn't the thread for you, since its entire raison d'être is to consider new editions of titles Varese controls (and no other label can release) due to their prior (usually incomplete, as you prefer) releases of these scores.
