Yoko Kanno's score to "Macross Plus" (Vol 1). As one of the anime geeks of the mid nineties before Pokemon and adult swim took the world by storm, I was rather into the niche during junior high. When I was browsing the soundtracks at a Blockbuster Music (yeah, I know!) and came across JVC's release of a Japanese soundtrack.. I was floored! This was before I had even looked into importing soundtracks at exuberant prices, but here was the score for a great robot saga! They didn't even release score albums for half of the movies in the theaters, and here was a disc for a movie I watched over the course of four 30 min video tapes! I snatched it up immediately and was suddenly struck that I didn't realize how beautiful the music (aside from the song, Voices) was from this film!
In more recent years, I could hardly stand the wait for the Christmas when the "Fellowship of the Ring" Complete Recordings was released. My then girlfriend (current Mrs.) had no idea what she was in for on the 3 hour drive to my parents house (and the return trip!!)! While all three of these sets were met with huge anticipation, that first box was a glorious thing. Full of mystery at the time, not expecting the luscious liners, and just the wonder of how much music there was to behold! I hope to enjoy that same sensation with future releases!

REVENGE OF THE NINJA - Music Composed by Rob Walsh - 1983 - Varese Sarabande STV-81195
I searched high and low for this goodold score.
Thanks to the miracle of the "SoundtrackCollector" & "FilmScore Monthly" forums I found
a seller and was able to buy this long lost favourite of mine.
Is that the one where the final battle takes place on the roof of a tall building in the middle of a city? If it is, the music in that final scene is awesome, and I'd get this score if it ever comes out on cd for that alone.

Hmmm...maybe the Octopussy LP. I literally spent my lunch money on that.
A few years later I passed on the Octopussy CD because, yes, I already owned the LP (d'oh!).
When I left school, I had about 20 lPs and hundreds of CDs. I left the pile of LPs with the theatre dept with the idea that the three or four albums I hadn't already replaced with CDs, eventually would be. It took only a few years, but that did happen- Octopussy and all.
Similarly, The Empire Strikes Back LP.
I vowed to play it completely through from beginning to end whenever I did play it so as to create even wear across all tracks. I thnk the Imperial March got a little more play than the other tracks, inthe end.
In 1985 I was on my way back to the US via Hong Kong where I bought myself a Sony D-5 CD player and two CDs- Star Wars and Raiders of the lost ArK. Then I bough Cocoon in Hawaii a few days later 'cause it was the first soundtrack listed in the end titles as 'available on LP, Cassette, and CD'.
More recently it has been albums for 'Fulmetal Alchemist', 'Ghost in the Shell', and BSG.
Such thrilling music for so many different reasons.
I guess that counts as more than one...

Would have to be the original LP for Budd's The Stone Killer.
CDs? probably The Wild Bunch.

Now that John Debney has been signed on for Iron Man II, I would have to say Iron Man II!!!!
But, since the question is WERE, I would have to say my copy of Logan's Run. Found the
LP in a used record store and then not knowing it was released a few times on CD, was able to
get the FSM CD copy!

Intrada's A L I E N
I owned the Silva edition for years, but wanted more (don't we always...).
I never believed it would come out in a sublime package like this.... (still impressed by that)
Before that (early 80's) it were the vinyl records of: Twilight Zone, E.T.,
and The Emerald Forest, I had searched and asked everywhere for that title,
no one could/would help, until somebody at a classic record store ordered it for me.
I didn't believe that it would work until some weeks later
the Varese record was finally in my (shaking and sweaty) hands.
That one's still a favourite of mine.
