In the meantime, I've identified one more poster, the Rumanian movie FUNERALII FERICITE (2013) :
Funeralii fericite (2013) - IMDb
ImdB doesn't credit Cosma but the poster does. Also, I've seen it a few years ago and confirm he scored it (actually a mix of reused stuff + what seemed to be a new theme for violin and piano if I'm not mistaken).
I've tried to figure out how the different scores have been possibly assembled. There's of course a margin of error since we don't have all titles at our disposal yet. Still, let's try it :
- VOLPONE (71) / BUT (66) / MEDECINS DE NUIT (78 and on). Note that either ENFANCE (71) or INSOLITE & CO (69), both excellent library music LPs, could also be featured here.
- TANG (71). Possible complement : LES GRANDS DETECTIVES (75).
- Michel Subiela tribute: ENQUETE POSTHUME SUR UN VAISSEAU FANTÔME (73) / LA MAIN ENCHANTEE (74) / LE COLLECTIONNEUR DE CERVEAUX (76) / VAINCRE A OLYMPIE (77). Possible complement (but a doubtful one since the master tape is indeed said to be lost): HUGUES LE LOUP (75)
- Michel Berny tribute : LES GRANDS SENTIMENTS FONT LES GRANDS GUEULETONS (73) / PETIT DEJEUNER COMPRIS (80) / POURQUOI PAS NOUS ? (81). Potential complement: LES MARLOUPINS (79). Though not directed by Berny but featuring Pierre Mondy (as in PETIT DEJEUNER COMPRIS), the TV series EDOUARD ET SES FILLES (90) could also have been placed here as a bonus.
- various movies (with 'serious' scores so to say): LES FILLES DE MALEMORT (74) / LA RAISON D'ETAT (78) / LA FEMME ENFANT (80), etc.
- various comedies: LA RAISON DU PLUS FOU (72) / LA DERNIERE BOURREE A PARIS (73) / DRÔLE DE SAMEDI (85), etc. Possible complement: LA GUEULE DE L'EMPLOI (74)
- various adventure TV series and TV movies: LA MER PROMISE (77) / L'EQUIPAGE (78) / L'ADIEU AUX AS (82), etc.
- various TV scores: SAM ET SALLY (78) / MADAME LE JUGE (77), etc. note: MEDECINS DE NUIT could also fit perfectly here.
- Lazare Iglesis tribute: LA JEUNE FEMME EN VERT (84) / HELLO EINSTEIN (84) / L'ETE DE LA REVOLUTION (89). Note: Cosma enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with this director so that other unreleased titles likely to make it here are: LA SERVANTE (79), LA BELLE VIE (79), LES MAÎTRES SONNEURS (80), LA GRANDE PITIE DU COMTE DE GRUYERE (81), LES DAMES A LA LICORNE (82, a serious contender possibly matching the poster featuring 5 faces in circles) & LE DEJEUNER DE SOUSCEYRAC (90).
- international collaborations: OCTAV (2017) / FUNERALII FERICITE (2013). Note: other possible bonus : the Dutch movies directed by Nikolai van der Heyde LAAT DE DOKTER MAAR SCHUIVEN (80) & NITWITS (87) or Israeli movies such as HU' HALACH B' SADOT (= ILS ALLAIENT A TRAVERS CHAMPS, 67), AYARIM (arranged by V.C., 67), ASEREI AHOFESH (= PRISONERS OF FREEDOM, 68), etc. Anthony Page's NIGHTMARE YEARS (a TV mini series in 4 parts, 89) seems unlikely since it's reusing stuff from previous movies like the march from LA RAISON D'ETAT a.o.
- CHET BAKER album (85) + a library music album, possibly CHARME, INTIMITE ET LOISIR (67).
- LES FABLES DE LA FONTAINE (2006).
Sorry if these titles appear as obscure but most of them really are ! And it's what's makes this box so exciting.

Thanks for your very interesting and complete message.
I Also hope other soundtracks will be included.
La Gueule de l’emploi with the Music « Camionnettes en folie » i like a lot.
Le Moustachu also and maybe other Library Music from Patchwork
label and Musique pour l’image.
I think to Enfance, Musique Insolite, Musique dramatique or Série Noire.
I would like to find exclusive tracks from the reissue LP from Le père Noël est une ordure

Only a few more days to wait until the release. Looking closely at the track-listing, some combinations are surprising since feature films have been put together with TV stuff in a few cases, especially on the volumes 8 and 12 and to a lesser extent 11. I guess there was no other solution.
I'm very curious about BUT, his first score that has never been released in any format so far in which he wrote serial stuff (!). On this volume, there's one bonus track in VOLPONE, as compared with the LP.
LES GRANDS DETECTIVES will be a real must as well. I'm also very much intrigued by MUSIQUE POUR UNE SERIE DISPARUE on volume 6. This is actually the music for a series called AUTO-AUTO (1984) but I have no idea what this series dealing with cars is: fiction ? documentary ?
Nice to get 5 tracks from MADAME LA JUGE, probably every single note Cosma came up with for this series starring Simone Signoret (since he scored only the episode Dossier Françoise Muller). The main theme played by the piano is very beautiful. I also rejoice at the inclusion of the unreleased score to LES MARLOUPINS.
Interesting to see that the library music LP INSOLITE & CO originally released in 1969 by Musique pour l'Image is now renamed IMAGES SPATIALES. Even the cues have been given new titles and one of them has been suppressed (I guess the one called Psychoshisme). It's a fascinating record in which Cosma featured among others the Bronté played by Vincent Geminiani. Some of these strange atmospheres would show up later on in DIVA. The very rhythmic cue called Obsexion (probably renamed Astrosurf here) is a favourite of mine: a newly elaborated version of it was featured in fight sequences from the TV series MICHEL STROGOFF but is not present on the soundtrack.
COOL JAZZ IN PARIS is also a new title for the MPI library music LP MUSIQUE GLISSANTE where Cosma co-signed a few tracks with Robert Hermel :
https://www.discogs.com/fr/master/357612-Vladimir-Cosma-Robert-Hermel-Musique-Glissante
Here as well, some titles have been changed, most of them slightly.
A real letdown regards LA RAISON D'ETAT but it clearly means that the composer doesn't have the session mastertapes at his disposal.
If you like Cosma, this box is no doubt a must have.

I expected to get this box today but believe it or not, the release has been once again postponed ! I'm told it's supposed to be available around somewhere between the 23d and 25th March. Still a few more days to go therefore...
That's odd, Laurent. Mine is on the way. I hope there isn't some kind of error they noticed after shipping the first batch
