"We'll still announce on Monday but it won't ship until later in the week. It's a golden age title from the late 50s. First release from us stretching that far back from this studio's catalog. It includes the full score from the film, plus one side of an LP that had part of the score re-recorded. Otherside of the LP was unrelated material that wouldn't be of much interest."

Exciting! Now to start the sleuthing...it won't be Fox or Paramount or MGM (which at this point is owned by Warner Bros.), because Intrada has released scores earlier than the late 50s from all of those studios. (David and Bathsheba/1951 from Fox, early 40s Rozsa scores from Paramount, and going all the way back to the 30s for shockingly good-sounding Waxman scores from MGM).
My guess is Universal. Now for the LP experts to chime in.

Last year, Roger mentioned that there was a Steiner in the works, so perhaps this could be that. However, the LP clue kinda limits what Steiner it could be if it is so (How many Steiner scores got a soundtrack album during the 50's?).

Some, but remember he specified *late* 50s which really limits it, and once the clue about the re-recorded score taking up only half the LP is taken into account, I don't see anything that would be it:
http://soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/composerdiscography.php?composerid=57&offset=800
I checked Frank Skinner and Hans J. Salter who worked at Universal a lot in that period...nothing that fits that more specific second clue. And it's obviously not Rozsa, since that more specific second clue also doesn't fit A Time to Love and a Time to Die.

Yeah, and I have a feeling Roger meant the LP was recorded contemporaneously, which eliminates my initial guess of Helen of Troy with the Bernstein recording, minus the Summer Place excerpts.
As far as other possible studios, we can also eliminate Disney because of their release of 20,000 Leagues.

1956 isn't "late 50s" and pay attention to the end of what Roger said (as Basil did): "Otherside of the LP was unrelated material that wouldn't be of much interest." (emphasis mine)
I don't think Roger would say the other side of the LP "wouldn't be of much interest" if it was other orchestral music, either by the same composer for a different film or different composer entirely. I think he knows that would still be of interest to folks. So I think it must be a case where one half of the LP is score and the other half is pop songs, or dialogue from the film, or something like that.

P.S. FSM already released the LP of John Paul Jones on a twofer, and that wasn't an LP with another side having "unrelated material that wouldn't be of much interest." I really don't think this is the Steiner title Roger hinted at last year.

I think this is a most reasonable assumption.

While I was inclined to agree, apparently this was not a good assumption as Roger just wrote at the Intrada board:
"I hadn't really thought of that one since Disney produced it and it was a co-branded title. They just supplied manufactured goods. I was thinking more of titles that we licensed directly."
So it might be a Disney indeed...
