Generally speaking Dutch pressings are considered to be better than Spanish.
Spanish and Portugese pressings had a pretty dodgy reputation, a large Dutch record store chain would often import large batches of cheap Spanish and Portugese pressings which often sounded atrocious (Lots of crackle from poorly reground vinyl) and are still abundant in 2nd hand record stores today.
There certainly are decent Spanish pressings, but I don't know if Dances with wolves is one of them.
I am not very impressed by ORG's soundtrack reissues: The pricing is pure insanity, the pressing quality is nothing special in my (admitedly limited) experience, I even had to return my copy of Gladiator because it was too noisy.
Certainly not worth 70-110€ per album.
They also almost always seem to pick titles that are readily available for 5$ or less and sound great to begin with. (Something most "audiophile" labels are guilty of) The Gerhardt recordings of Rozsa and Herrmann for example, and the upcoming "Mysterious film world of Bernard Herrmann" are not albums in need of remastering, they all sound fantastic on their original LP release and are some of the cheapest records I've ever bought.
Long story short: I'd try a Dutch pressing...
