A new issue of "Last Man Standing" (bottom barrel material though)
What's bottom barrel about LAST MAN STANDING? Perhaps Ry Cooder's best score, and a terrific, top of the barrel Elmer Bernstein score. Though there's not enough for a 3CD set, I think, everything seems to have had good releases already.

Could be CD1: premiere of complete Elmer Bernstein score CD2: original Varese album program (produced by Bernstein?) CD3: complete Ry Cooder score
But that's only if Varese doesn't have perpetuity control.
It had two albums, the original soundrack and the "More Music from..." album. Two composers, Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard The complete score + alternates would be around 3 discs
Hmm. I like this guy's style! I hadn't even thought about Gladiator. I'd be very happy with either Gladiator, Troy, or Last of the Mohicans. (And probably many other titles as well!)
I find it very odd people keep ignoring the 'two albums' clue. All these scores with a rejected score that people keep talking about (outside a couple) only ever had one actual album. Though, granted it's hard to say if Roger meant 'two previous albums' or 'two album programs on this release', which adds a few.
Stuff like Frenzy or Gladiator (1992) really don't fit here.
Troy /kinda/ does, as there was the promo. Gladiator (2000) is a guess I really like given the clues. Practical Magic also squeezes in by a technicality. Something Wicked could work too, given both previous Intrada releases.
The other options though....I don't think anyone's brought this up, and it WOULD kinda make what I wrote about about the weird guesses invalid....
Maybe there's two SEPARATE releases from the same score, totaling 3 CDs. That could be the '2 albums' clue (and thus previous releases are irrelevant) and he specifically said "While it's too soon to reveal the albums,".

Spys Jerry and Scott, a disc each. Third disc- a recording of the two composers, smiling broadly, while slapping each other in the face with big wads of cash. Repeating the line ' I can't believe they pay us for this crap'.
Disc 1: the used film score Disc 2: the original album of the used film score Disc 3: the rejected film score
So don't rule out scores under 75 minutes.
Not a genuine guess, but as a John Barry and Elmer Bernstein fan who didn't buy Varese's Elmer box set, THE SCARLET LETTER would be cool. That said, I can't see any justification for putting the original film score and original album presentation out for that one.
FRENZY would be amazing, but as there's no original album to put out and I can't imagine either score being over 75 minutes, it won't be that.
LEGEND wouldn't make sense as it's been done too recently.
Could it be two editions of THE BLUE MAX, as that hasn't had enough releases and two editions at the same time could be needed to catch up? (I'M JUST KIDDING!)
LIFEFORCE?
If it was two scores, one film, one composer, I'd dare to dream THE COTTON CLUB: first take on the score, revised take on the score, and original album. But, dagnabit, it's two composers, so not that.
WHAT DREAMS MAY COME would be cool, although Morricone wasn't listed as one of the label's upcoming composers for this year.
Cheers
Didn’t Ennio Morricone also try out for Dinty Moore’s Scarlet Letter. In fact Elmer Bernstein wrote Dinty Moore, a small letter …thanking her for firing him off Scarlet Letter.
I do like John Barry’s work on Dinty Moore’s Scarlet Letter, whom she wanted to score from the beginning.
Maybe THE 13TH WARRIOR Disc 1:Jerry Goldsmith Expanded Disc 2:Graeme Revells mediocre score Disc 3:Jerry Goldsmith Original Album(whoever needs that one again
