Let's be clear: the 2003 editions were a gift from the heavens.
However, there's a good reason to revisit all the classic era 007 scores, except those that only exist as album masters.
1: To make them all complete.
2: To present the original album programs separately from the film score program.
3: To present the film score program in sequence and shorter tracks.
Of the John Barry score expansions, only You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, and Octopussy are actually complete.
In fact, there's still more unreleased music from Thunderball than there is from Moonraker.
Before anyone tries to score a point with it, I'm not including that 3 second sting from Diamonds Are Forever that was probably created editorially rather than recorded as a cue.
The original albums were terrific albums, and I think there's value in presenting both the original album as well as the complete score, as is the modern style.
The 2003 style of presenting the music as album first (sometimes modified) and then all the other music as bonus tracks in big suites, was a necessary concession but not the most satisfying presentation.
Just my tuppence worth.

I think there are licensing issues (which probably aren't worth fighting over) with keeping the original album in album order - with the extra tracks at the end.
That was a requirement in 2003 but has not been an issue with any of La-La Land's 007 releases.
Besides, if they present the album and film score as separate programs, as is the modern style, they'd satisfy any such requirement by simply making the album disc 1.

I'm pretty sure LTK is next - i mean the tapes are all there - the slates are ready
the alternate title song was released online
i just hope that we also get all tracks from the EP's and singles and so on are included
What's the alternate title song?
Same question.

I'd counter (not argue!) that some of the cues on the Moonraker CD are not the film takes - Corrine Put Down and Flight into Space are definitely not the takes heard in the film, so there is a lot of material still technically unreleased. I'd suggest a full Moonraker would be nothing short of revelatory.

The 2003 CD of You Only Live Twice is direct from the session masters. Any variances in the film itself is likely music editing.

Yes, "Capsule in Space" has a lot of repetitive bars in the opening as recorded and as heard in the film. They were edited down for the album and when we were doing the 2003 CD, as much as I like to present things unabridged and complete, it just felt boring and tedious not to replicate the edit.

The two Moonraker cues I want to hear remastered and untampered are:
The trumpet-strings quasi-Herrmann cue after Bond blasts the centrifuge panel with the wrist dart gun.
and...
The cue when Bond activates the emergency stop of Drax's spacestation.
Two of the sweetest million-dollar Bond cues.
