Help Lukas Kendall & SAE out and buy The Wrong Man.
It's a Hitchcock Herrmann that is still not sold out.
[Joy in the Morning and It's Alive are also still in stock]

Two years ago I went through a year-long Bernard Herrmann journey, playing everything I had--which was a lot--plus whatever else I could get my hands on. If I were starting from scratch I would get:
1) the box set of the Concert Suites. Either get the set or get the individual albums that were on Phase 4 with excellent sound. BH re-recording suites from his scores. The albums were:
Music From the Great Film Classics
The Fantasy Film World of BH
Music From the Great Movie Thrillers
The Mysterious Film World of BH
2) Charles Gerhardt's Citizen Kane, the Classic Film Scores of BH
3) Elmer Bernstein's re-recording of The Ghost and Mrs Muir
The collections give you well-recorded and well-performed and generous suites of so many Herrmann scores. Plus, they'll give you an idea of where to go from there.
Some of my favorite scores not represented on any of these collections are Obsession and Cape Fear.

I’m in the mood to expand my Herrmann collection. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is what I have (probably too many of those Varese re-recordings from the late 90s).
I am selling a "North by Northwest" INTRADA Special Collection CD.
It is OUT OF PRINT and RARE.
See SAMPLE here: https://www.discogs.com/Bernard-Herrmann-North-By-Northwest/release/3800742
Asking $45.00 for my MINT Condition copy.
Includes shipping within the U.S.A.
Shipping is extra internationally.

You have to get these:
2. DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (Fox or Varese)
Thanks for the suggestions. How is the La La Land Edition ($16) compared to the Fox edition ($37 onAmazon)?
I never owned the Fox edition so I can't make a comparison. However, I have the OOP Kritzerland edition (which is the same master as the LLL), and it sounds quite good and has more material than the Fox edition.

I'm actually the first person to suggest Beneath the 12 Mile Reef? It's one of my favorites of his.

If you can track down the Fox box set without having to sell your house to obtain it, I recommend it. So much goodness. But a lot of those scores have been rerecorded beautifully by a variety of people.
Is Herrmann one of the most re-recorded film composers? Could just be my interest in his work...

Tack the Cobbler is right. I can't believe you don't already have THE EGYPTIAN in one form or another, including various OSTs and Morgan/Stromberg's Marco Polo.
I don't think anybody's yet mentioned the only one that got Benny an Oscar: THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER, (available as a concert suite).
Are you limiting yourself to movie works? If not, he wrote a couple of splendid chamber works, ECHES and SOUVENIRS DE VOYAGE. His concert suite WELLES RAISES KANE is a delight.
