Cinderella Liberty, another Williams score from around the same period, had a soundtrack LP release on the Fox label, so it certainly seems like a Poseidon Adventure album could have been a possibility. If I remember right, "The Morning After" was kind of an unexpected hit. The song is barely heard in the film and I believe the single and Maureen McGovern album were released some time after the film came out (the McGovern album has a copyright of 1973), so maybe by the time the studio realized the potential for a soundtrack album the film was already finishing its run in theaters.
A bigger mystery for me is why there was no soundtrack for Williams' Family Plot at the time of the film's release. The studio had a label that regularly released soundtrack albums, Williams had a big hit with Jaws on the MCA label the year before, Hitchcock was an exploitable name, and the recent success of Herrmann's album of music from Hitchcock thrillers had brought renewed interest in the scores for the director's films, so it seems like there would have been a number of marketable elements for a Family Plot soundtrack (especially in comparison to some of the other soundtracks MCA chose to release around this time).

Could you please stop talking EARTHQUAKE, THE TOWERING INFERNO, POSEIDON ADVENTURE? It has become a tiring, neverending litany of a debate. You should read your own posts. You sound like a broken record! It doesn't contribute anything new at all, and what's worse - it makes me feel mega old.
And yet... you clicked on this thread and managed to find the time to post at least twice within it. Cool.
