There was an official soundtrack for The Holy Mountain. I have forgotten which label but I did some research a few years ago and called the label (was a label in the US I still remember) but it was offcourse long out of print and they didn’t have any copies laying around anymore and suggested I’d try the second hand markets.
If anybody ever stumbles across the original LP pleeeeaaase let me know! Hey even if you can only get the tracklisting let me know :) So far the only things I know is that it’s Don Cherry, Ron Frangipane, Tibettan music, and a version of Valse Triste from Sibelius.

[…] I’d written that Alejandro Jodorowsky had settled with Allen Klein, clearing the way for theatrical and DVD releases of his films, and now it’s been announced that May 1 is the release date for a boxed set of Jodorowsky’s El Topo, The Holy Mountain, and Fando y Lis. Prints of El Topo and Holy Mountain are currently touring the country. Not as spectacular as the Japanese box, but fantastic news nonetheless. […]

My, uh, source was missing 17, which is a drag. If anyone sends me the track I’ll put it up.

[…] Following up on the previous Holy Mountain soundtrack post by Brakhage, I humbly present the entire Douglas 6 reissued vinyl soundtrack to Alexandro Jodorowsky’s motion picture, El Topo (aka The Mole), often referred to as “the first midnight movie”. Based on brief online searching, it appears neither the original Apple label release nor the Douglas 6 release are on CD yet but supposedly, according to this trailer there will finally be an official (hopefully North American NTSC) release of El Topo on DVD as well as Holy Mountain and Fando and Lis, so it would logically follow that the soundtracks for both could be released on CD. One can hope anyway. Here are the liner notes transcribed: […]

The doc of which you speak is on the Fando y Lis DVD. I have seen it, it’s a trip. I would have mentioned it but I was getting a little lengthy.

There’s been no leaked information yet on specs for the reissues; Jodo has been doing the cult-film-con circuit for a few years now showing off new prints. I forget where showings have been, I think Canada.

I don’t believe Holy Mountain ever got an LP issue; the LP of El Topo came out on Apple. There was also a ‘book of the film’ as well.

wow, dude!
thank you so much for posting this! so is there an actual release of the soundtrack? i assume if the film is going to be finally released properly the soundtrack could? can’t wait to see decent transfer of el topo. i’ve been putting off seeing it forever in hopes of seeing on film… maybe they’ll do screenings of both out here in LA… i’m getting giddy. anyway, thanks.

oh, did you see that jodorowsky documentary that came out a few years ago? pretty bizarre/interesting. there’s a whole section of the film with him and moebius doing this weird psychological workshop with this group of people. i don’t remember exactly what it was all about but i just remember thinking first “ok, this is some hokey new age crap” to thinking “wow, this is actually pretty intense.” plus there’s interviews with his son.

Allen Klein is something of a villain; his greed has caused all kinds of trouble. He owns the rights to all the ABKO label recordings—many classic recordings have never been reissued because he wants insanely high royalties (? and the Mysterians’ stuff was finally reissued for the first time last year, and Bob Seger’s early stuff never has), and he double-crossed the Verve regarding the sample clearance in “Bittersweet Symphony”.
