If they ever bring out the film version of The Spy Who Loved Me, complete from the 2-inch session masters, I'd be powerless to resist.
I would also buy The Man with the Golden Gun if it got the Rolls-Royce treatment, and probably Moonraker. And For Your Eyes Only, if it was complete and chronological to significantly improve on the Ryko release.
Incidentally, I just played the expanded OHMSS all the way through the other day, arranged mostly into film order, and if you love the vintage stuff, it's a dream. I'm completely satisfied with that one, Diamonds are Forever, You Only Live Twice, and Thunderball, although I'm aware that the expanded Thunderball is not complete, and it has a constituency calling for a deluxe edition.

I'm a sucker for the Roger Moore Bond scores... Man With The Golden Gun, Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, Octopussy, A View To A Kill all need the deluxe treatment. I'm hopeful that LLL can continue with the Bond series!

(A): The bona-fide classics; as much material as can be prepared, with the finest audio engineering that can be brought to bear: Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
(B): The second-tier scores that have quality unreleased bits: The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, A View to a Kill.
I know I'm leaving out From Russia with Love. I think Lukas Kendall stated that the album master is all that remains, which may encompass the whole score; I'm not sure. A re-engineered release of it would still be welcome, for "Spectre Island" alone.

The album master is all that exists of the score in stereo. It's possible to patch in the remaining tracks from the DMEs but they're in mono of course and would require some major EQ work.
As for the rest...
Thunderball -- actually complete this time in film order. No cross fades.
YOLT, OHMSS, DAF, LALD -- In film order.
Man With the Golden Gun, Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, View to a Kill, Living Daylights -- Complete, film order
Moonraker -- Complete? Do the stems for this one exist at Pinewood at least?

My preference would be those scores which did not get remastered and expanded before.
And of those I would love those the most:
1. MOONRAKER
2. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
3. LICENCE TO KILL
4. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME
5. A VIEW TO A KILL
6. OCTOPUSSY

All the Roland Shaw Bond albums plus his other spy theme recordings - as complete as that horrible Poker release, but with decent sound, please! 
Agreed. What on earth went wrong with that particular release? The sound was horrendous.
I would have thought Dutton Vocalion would be a good label to release the Shaw compilations, but no luck so far, it seems.
As ZapBrannigan says, there's no problem though with the 'World of James Bond Adventure' release.
