They did the same with the second volumes of the soundtracks to "Titanic," "Gladiator," and I think "Braveheart." A cheesy marketing ploy, IMHO.
"Lady" could be restored with the musical score and songs on one CD, the original LP on a second CD, and "Blue" would be a great 3rd CD in what would be a magnificent set.
