How can I get the permalink_url only of using Soundcloud API tracks? It returns all fields.

How am I able to return only the permalink_url?

You should be able to parse the returned JSON for the permalink_url. Something like:

var parsedJSON = JSON.parse(tracksJSON);
var permalink = parsedJSON.permalink_url;

If you have jQuery, I believe $.getJSON automatically parses the info for you as well. I hope this helps you!
