Re: THE BODY SNATCHER.
It's long been one of my favorite films, but the first time Ray, that clever rascal, posted that photo in a thread I had to ask him about it myself. That's why I wrote here that "this time, I remember." While we're all waiting for more information from Ray, I suggest that we fill the time by watching THE BODY SNATCHER, a great Lewton/Wise film with a great Karloff performance and, yes, a great Roy Webb score.

Sounds like a multiple score set to me. Ray twice talks of it as "a release" rather than "a score". He also says "No re-treads!" (plural) rather than "It's not a re-retread".
Maybe it's a similar release to the 3CD BYU/FMA Max Steiner: The RKO Years 1929-1936 set?
I have to agree that it has to be a box set considering Ray's use of plurals. Supposing they're included, a box set would be a good way to take care of the gray area scores (i.e. King Richard and Helen of Troy), since FSM took that very approach when decided to include the previously gray-area Young Bess and All the Brothers were Valiant in their Rozsa box set.

So I think we're talking about two separate releases here, the Steiner one Ray is teasing and the could-be-any-Golden-Ager set coming from Intrada.
It´s not "could-be-any-Golden-Ager set" as we know the studios where the material comes from are mainly Warner and MGM and the time span is 25 years. This important info - and Ray´s additional one that it will definitely not be Steiner - excludes so many Golden Age composers and I am now quite convinced it will be a Waxman 4 CD set.
