(Edit: FULL BODY MASSAGE is on youtube, score on opening and end credits sounded like charming jazz/lounge music, not heard anything like that from HGW before or since.)
The Witches tends to get mentioned from time to time in these threads with very positive responses, so a release sounds like it could have some support. Does anybody know why no one has ever released it? Is it because it's a short score?

So fucking predictable. FYI, it was Stanley Myers who was the primary composer on most of those films.

What the hell is your problem? Can't you accept someone else's choices?
So you would have been happier if I had written Myers' name before Zimmer's on INSIGNIFICANCE and CASTAWAY?
As much as I love "Walkabout," and it is exquisite, Pino Donaggio's score for "Don't Look Now" is one of the most beautiful, frightening and haunting. Nic Roeg was one of the fiercest and most original talents in British cinema. Sad to see him go.
But I also love the YOUNG INDY scores (I see he did one episode of that), and surprised he also directed music videos for Roger Waters' fine solo album THE PROS AND CONS OF HITCH-HIKING.
One might mention LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, for which Roeg did second unit photography. I'm sure he learned some of his craft on that project.
Nick Roeg was subsequently hired by David Lean to shoot Doctor Zhivago, but Lean didn't like the look of the dallies and replaced him with Freddie Young after a week or so.
Anyway, if we're talking favorite scores from films photographed by Roeg, I'd certainly have to add Fahrenheit 451, Petulia and Far From The Madding Crowd.
Amazed that Lean would have sought to ditch Young after their landmark collaboration on LAWRENCE. Doubtless it was an ordeal for both men. The director was a harsh master, and there are a number of collaborators who simply couldn't get along with him.
