The only official release of any Friedhofer music from Vera Cruz has been the opening title music which appeared on the Jasmine Records release entitled 'The Westerns Music And Songs From Classic Westerns' available here:

Some more info on the score from an insider known as manderly:
"Hugo told me years ago that the tapes for VERA CRUZ were gone---at least at that time---so who knows? I believe he also told me that the score was recorded in Mexico as part of the joint production of the film itself, so that would make the tracking of the original mastertapes much more difficult. Perhaps they're sitting in a musty old stone vault at Churubusco Studios alongside a cache of tequila or a cask of Amontillado."
