And dedicated to the memory of an old friend (as written on the back of the CD) who would have loved it. If you like harp, a little jazz, spooky chorus… and a film that featured Sharon Tate… grab this score and special order the DVD.

Greg Twyman, yes indeed.
We always knew him as ‘Gummy’, and he supplied me and so many others with so much unbelievable music (we couldn’t keep up with offering him anything in return, he was already ahead of us in collecting originals)- this dedication to him is probably the nicest thing to happen out of FSM… though years later Lukas couldn’t remember his name. He was a jolly soul who died young and believed all that mattered in life was good friends and good music.
Never the less, it is a terrific score and ‘drive-in’ movie with an A-list cast.
Very nice soundtrack although this release is tinged with tragedy, Sharon Tate in the movie, Gary McFarland died in 1971 at the age of 37.
EDIT: There is indeed another version, as seen here (http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/49003/Eye+Of+The+Devil). It’s the 1968 vinyl release, that would be tough to find as well.
The link you supplied is a link to a bootleg of some sort.

Note: (1) The film Eye of the Devil was originally titled 13 when Gary McFarland wrote and recorded this score. Verve Records had intended on issuing a soundtrack album in early 1967 (scheduled as V/V6-8674), and although the album was designed and advertised, production problems which delayed the release of the film stalled the release of the soundtrack until Film Score Monthly finally issued its first-ever release four full decades later, shortly after Deborah Kerr, the last of the film’s surviving stars, had passed away. The main theme (titled as such above and below) has also been recorded under other titles, including "13", "Theme from 13", "13 (Death March)", "Eye of the Devil" and, most prominently, as "One I Could Have Loved". McFarland also recorded a theme he originally called "Jacques" (after the son in the film, who will inherit his father’s fate – curiously something that was not too dissimilar from what happened between McFarland and his son, Milo) as "Childhood Dreams" with Steve Kuhn on THE OCTOBER SUITE, which can be heard as "Jacques in Bed" above. Here are the titles as they appear in Creed Taylor’s production notes for the Verve release and the order of tunes according to the Verve matrix numbers:
1. (101095) Main Theme (Journey) = b
2. (101096) Main Theme (Harp) = a (Main Theme, without intro)
3. (101097) Main Theme (Kids) = c
4. (101098) Death March (Part 1) = m (first half)
5. (101099) Death March (Part 2) = m (second half)
6. (101100) Death March (Part 3) = n
7. (101101) Death March (Part 4) = o
8. (101102) Voices (Ceremony) = d (Int. Chateau Interior)
9. (101103) Main Theme (End) = p
10. (101104) Voices And Bells In Church = k
11. (101105) Christmas Theme = g (Children on Parapet)
12. (101106) Hypnotizing Odillo Theme = g (Catherine and Odile on
Parapet) segue to f (Arrow Into Tree)
13. (101107) Forest Chase = i (last 2:50 only)
14. (101108) Train Ride = q
Additionally, Creed Taylor’s production notes and Michel Ruppli’s Verve discography indicate the recording dates as November 7 and 8, 1966, which corresponds to when McFarland was in London recording SOFT SAMBA STRINGS. Additionally, Ruppli indicates the presence of Tubby Hayes (f); unknown (p); Lennie Bush (b); Ronnie Stevenson (d) on the November 7 date. The date used above corresponds to the logs that accompanied the tapes provided to Film Score Monthly by M-G-M in England. (Sources: Creed Taylor, Dan Skea, Lukas Kendall). (2) A 16m 33s documentary titled ALL EYES ON SHARON TATE made around the time of EYE OF THE DEVIL utilizes portions of Gary McFarland’s music from the film.
