The fact that many of these are obscure is a testament to how labels have strived to release great LP titles to date.
Everything that ever was available on LP should be on CD
Agreed. As far as I know, all the LP releases by my three favourite composers Williams, Elfman and Goldenthal have had subsequent CD releases (either at the time of the new medium's arrival or later in a 'special edition'). So I'm all set there.

Damn right! Probably no more than ten soundtrack LPs for me (including those three Rozsa Conducts Rozsa albums on Polydor, not a single track has shown up on CD!), there's only one pop holdout that I'm waiting for. The biggest number of albums I'm waiting on are classical, mostly 18th century & a lot on the Philips label, the Australian label Eloquence are releasing a lot of UMG titles (Philips, Decca & DG) first time on CD, & I had a lot of records from the French label Arion & they've hardly released any of their back catalogue on CD. Anyway this is a soundtrack site, so a few of my usual wants:
I'll Never Forget What's 'is Name - Francis Lai Hello-Goodbye - Francis Lai Harper - Johnny Mandel McLintock! - Frank Devol Where's Jack - Elmer Bernstein Rozsa Conducts Rozsa - M. Rozsa Smashing Time - John Addison ...& a few others.
My list has shrunk considerably in the past few years!
David and Lisa - Mark Lawrence/Victor Feldman. Quite a nice score, with some wonderful Jazz interpretations. I suspect the CDs I see for sale are not legitimate.
Ewoks - Peter Bernstein. A relatively forgotten gem, there is some really sweet and fun music on there, and an expansion would be welcome
Terrorvision - Richard Band/The Fibonaccis. I would imagine this one could be difficult due to the songs.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 2LP set - Johnny Williams. Why are we still waiting for this? I realize it could probably be mostly recreated from various CDs, but this assembly was a work of art. I believe there are bits on the album which have not been released elsewhere.
