Why the CD is incomplete, and the isolated score on laserdisc is complete:
"The masters containing the music recorded at Pinewood in 1964 were either lost or destroyed; thus, the score of The Masque of the Red Death, long demanded by fans, could not see the light of day – until now. This CD has been mastered from the film’s well-preserved music stem, courtesy of MGM. Unfortunately, of the 10 DME reels, only 9 have survived, so about eight minutes of music could not be included. Our sound engineer, Jos� Luis Crespo, has done an amazing job of restoration, subjecting tracks to the most advanced CEDAR technique, and carefully adjusting the ups and downs in volume, now virtually undetectable. The final master was supervised and approved by Mr. David Lee, who is happy to see his work finally published – 48 years after it was composed!"
A comparison of both scores to show what's missing:

4= 4
5= 5+7 (7 longer at start)
6= 6
7= 8
8= 9

13= 23 (laser cue 21 is excerpt of 23, so I didnt bother to list it)
14= 22
15= 24 (longer on laser)
16= 24 (longer on laser) +25
17= 26+27
