I remember being disappointed in a lot fewer soundtrack albums in the early 70s than there were in the 60s, so I took a look back by checking on 3 composers I was buying then--and now.
Looking at just theatrical releases--nobody was releasing lps of tv movies at that time--Jerry Goldsmith scored 11 films during these 3 years. Three were released on album--Patton, The Wild Rovers, and The Last Run. These last two were practically released at the same time. Of the remaining eight all but one have been subsequently released in one form or another:
Ballad of Cable Hogue
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Travelling Executioner
Rio Lobo
The Mephisto Waltz
Escape From Planet of Apes
The Other
Only The Man has not been releases.
Any corrections?

You left out "Crawlspace".
Does Do Not Fold Spindle or Mutilate figure in this?
So I think the original list was just theatrical films... Crawlspace and Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate would not qualify (I can't think of any TV movies at the time which got soundtrack releases... aside from Williams's Jane Eyre perhaps?)
The thing about Jane Eyre and The Man is that they were given a limited theatrical release in a few places outside of the United States. Presumably that is why "only The Man" was mentioned that way, while other movies released on TV in the states (but not theatrically elsewhere) were omitted.

In fact THE MAN was produced for airing on ABC-TV, yet a decision was made to try a theatrical release instead. (After all, 1972 was a U.S. election year, so it could have felt timely.) I saw it at a public, pre-release sneak preview that summer before any reviews or advertising, and had no idea of Goldsmith's involvement until the brief opening titles!
Lorimar produced it but THE MAN's theatrical distribution was through Paramount. (I still have its domestic one-sheet poster and lobby-card set, so the film certainly was not limited to foreign release.) In this era, I've figured we won't see the MAN score released not just because of its brevity but because so much Lorimar music is MIA.

Probably the album would have been the complete score, but since the original Apes LP was only 26 minutes it's possible that a few cues could still have been omitted.

I am by no means one who must have every sliver of sound ever composed by a particular composer, but looking over this Goldsmith list I made a while back, I still crave decent releases of The Mephisto Waltz and The Other.
