I don't remember what I thought of the score though.I like it a lot. It's on all the major streaming services if you search for "Vuelven."
One of the maddest soundtracks you'll ever buy – a strange mix of folksy tunes, sound effects, and odd noisy bits – recorded for the equally odd film of the same name! The record is impossible to describe accurately, but it's a really dark one – strangely fragile at some moments, with a sing-song intensity that almost makes it feel like some of the late 80s pagan folk efforts of David Tibet! The 40th Anniversary Edition has a different track listing to the preceding OST double album, selecting only the songs to make a single LP. Giovanni had always intended to release the soundtrack on vinyl as an album of songs, but this never happened due to the film’s troubled past,and consequently the existing soundtrack includes extra incidental music. This pressing is unique, presenting the music as an album of those songs – the only time Paul Giovanni’s musical vision for the film has been accurately represented on record.
Silva Screen commissioned artist Richey Beckett to come up with artwork for a poster and sleeve. This repress on white vinyl contrasts beautifully with the artwork, which is printed on reverse board. It also includes the stunning original printed inner sleeve.

And tbh, Wicker Man has been on my list for attempting a COMPARISON CORNER for months - so if you can hang on for a short while, I could get on that asap?

But if you really just want a quick answer - the Music on Vinyl 'yellow cover' edition is the most complete edition out there, with both the songs and score together on a double LP.

Just note that the blurb which you attached above does not relate to the LP pictured - that's the copy relating to the Silva Screen LP which has only the songs on it, and has the hand drawn cover/brown and black.

The third option, the Trunk Records LP which is OOP and more pricey, is a complicated story which will have to wait for the proper comparison. But basically, it was the first ever release of the music and was pulled from the original music and sound effects reels - you don't need that one... but if you go deep into the Wicker Man pagan rabbit hole, you may ultimately decide that you need it after all ;-)

And go even deeper.... and you'll end up needing this Finders Keepers album of original folk recordings of the songs that the film composer adapted - I love this album!

I want it really bad but if I'm being honest with myself I won't watch it much. I enjoy the film but never really have the desire to watch it so this would be spend $100, watch the film then put it on the shelf to collect dust. The library cues are really interesting to me but I'd just rip them to my hard drive and listen to them that way so I might as well just wait for some on to rip it and upload some where. Who knows though, I may convince myself between now and this fall that I actually do really need this.
I'm gonna ponder this one.

I actually hated Day up until a few years ago when I began to appreciate it more, still not a fun watch imo. Effects are some of the best but I find so many characters grating to watch that it's tough for me to really love the film as a whole. I go right down the line Night to Dawn to Day for my preference. I'm due for a Dawn rewatch but I definitely don't love it like most in the horror community and around here. That's not to take away from it's importance or anything, just a personal preference from this weirdo. It's a great film that I don't appreciate as much as most.
Out of the original trilogy, I rank it last. Now that’s not to say I don’t like it or even at times LOVE it, but I prefer Day a bit more for the atmosphere and the effects (and the score) and Night is far and away my favorite of the original three and one of my all time favorite movies period.
There, I said it. I apologize to those I’ve let down ;D

Apparently I didn't compare the sound quality though
