Well, one is strictly for Lyman lovers. The other features the premiere release of a scorching score from the mid-60s. It includes the original film recording newly transferred from the masters at Paramount plus the original LP re-recording. Great album.
Here's Roger's old clue for this coming release, for those who forgot: "Two thrillers, one from 1964 and the other from 1973. Nearly a decade apart, different composers. Both first time release of original tracks."
It's very clearly Seven Days in May we're talking about. The year is right. The "original tracks" comment acknowledges the BSX re-recording on their Goldsmith Rarities Vol. 1 disc (glad I don't have to buy that now...) And it matches with the Lyman clue from today. The only question marks are what 1973 score it might be paired with (Roger doesn't refer to that in this week's clue) and for me, whether Amram's rejected Seven Days in May score will be included too. Assuming it isn't much longer than Goldsmith's there should be room for both SDiM scores AND the 1973 score, whatever it is, as long as it's less than 40-45 minutes...
There's also the little issue of Roger saying the 5-6 Goldsmith titles (later revised to 5) coming up soon were going to be paired. One mystery is solved -- the way we can have an odd number of paired Goldsmith "titles" is that one title is paired with itself (film tracks and LP re-recording). However, one mystery: unless the 1973 score with Seven Days in May is also by Goldsmith (perusing Soundtrack Collector yields a couple of unreleased 1973 Goldsmith scores: Shamus (Columbia) and The Don Is Dead (Universal) -- very unlikely since the studios are different) that must mean we'll be getting yet *another* Goldsmith-containing release NEXT time, paired with something by a different composer.
And don't forget Roger used the plural for both revisits and premieres, so we'll be getting one other premiere *besides* Seven Days in May soon. He may be counting the original tracks for Sebastian (probably the other Monday release) here.
One question: is Seven Days in May really with Warner Bros. or does Paramount retain the rights to the score? Because the 1973 title could be from Paramount.
So anyway, I'm going to guess Maurice Jarre's Ash Wednesday. The only listing I could find was an LP that may or may not have been released.
Looking at Paramount (1973) on IMDB candidates are: Don't look now Serpico Hit! (SoundtrackCollector.com lists a LP release) Ash Wednesday (SoundtrackCollector.com lists a LP release)
Don't look now is the only 'real' thriller, isn't it ?
Then it probably is a Warner Bros. title then. Also, Ash Wednesday I believe was described as a medical thriller on the obscure films thread.
A good guess would be Executive Action by Randy Edelman (if the masters exist, and that's a big if since National General titles have a checkered past with surviving masters).

Ash Wednesday: The film shows the details of a facial plastic surgery at the beginning, but then the movie turns into romance/drama with locations in Switzerland
