Hey Gaijin, I see you picked up a copy of Danger: Diabolik!To add to what Mr. G said, there are a number of sources for music from Spellbound.
I haven't seen the film in a while, but I don't remember any songs in it, not even as background source music, though I could be wrong. Spellbound has a main theme/love theme that has been recorded as "Theme from Spellbound"--it might have had lyrics put to it at some point and this might be the 'song' you seek.
In any case, music from Spellbound first appeared on 78s. The music on these 78s later appeared on an LP and can now be found on a CD, The Film Music of Miklos Rozsa, on Flapper records, along with a second suite from Spellbound, and a narrated suite from The Jungle Book.
As I recall, the music was re-recorded in a studio and isn't the exact performance on the film's soundtrack, but it's conducted by Rozsa and comes fairly close. The drawback of course is the poorer sound quality of a 50-year-old recording.
The re-recording of the score done in stereo in 1958 conducted by Ray Heindorf that Gaijin mentioned above was later re-issued on Stanyan LPs and then CD and still might be found through a specialty shop like Footlight Records in NY.
An RCA CD of Rozsa music conducted by Charles Gerhardt has a re-recording of the Dream Sequence cue, but no others.
At some point after the film's release, Rozsa was approached to turn the basic themes into a concerto for piano. The Spellbound Concerto took on its own popular life and there are and have been numerous versions of this piece recorded over the years including an expanded version for 2 pianos Rozsa concocted in 1984.
I couldn't tell you which of these is the best, most of the ones I have heard are fine. And there are a number of 'Concertos from the Movies' CDs that include it--Naxos records has an inexpensive one, Elan records has one too.
One of the distinctive features of the Spellbound score is the inclusion of an early electronic instrument, the theremin, which makes a kind of vibrating wail. The 78 version and the '58 re-record both include it, some versions of the concerto use it, others delete it, or substitute an organ or synthesizer.
I hope that helps you out.
