I just saw your post, kkuch, and I don't know whether you're even around almost eight years later or still want or need the information (somehow I doubt you'll ever see this!), but for you or anyone who's interested:
The original soundtrack in its entirety is available from Screen Archives Entertainment (SAE). The Mysterians is part of a two-CD set that also includes the complete original soundtrack from Battle in Outer Space.
Here's the link to the CD's SAE page:

Be warned that these Japanese imports are usually very pricey. This one lists for $48.95, so be prepared for a higher cost. But you do get two complete soundtracks, not one, and the music from both is terrific, so in that sense the price really isn't as high as it may seem. The recordings are in excellent condition, among the best soundtracks I've ever heard. The Japanese seem to do a far better job at preserving their source material than anyone else. This also makes the expense more worthwhile.
This is one of many Japanese imports, featuring the complete, unedited, original motion picture soundtracks of classic Japanese films, that are available through SAE. Some CD sets feature music from two films, one or two from three movies, a few from just one film (for example, Mothra). There are also collections of music from several films, or of Akira Ifukube's music -- all of them original soundtracks, not re-recordings. Again, the prices are a bit high, but in my opinion worth it. Once on the SAE site you can search for other available soundtracks. (One other note: since they seem to get their supply directly from Japan shipping may take a bit longer than usual.)
Hope that you and others do see this post and that it's useful to you, even after all these years. Sayonara!
