Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Radio Sunnydale - Music from the TV Series
Encyclopedia
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Radio Sunnydale – Music from the TV Series is the second Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack album, following on from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album
.
Radio Sunnydale concentrates on Buffys fifth to seventh seasons, though a few tracks from earlier seasons (like Christophe Beck's score cut on the UK version, from season three'sThe Zeppo) are also included. It was released to coincide with the end of the show, in autumn 2003.
Perhaps the most striking aspect of the album is that two drastically different versions were produced, one for the USA
and one for the UK
. The US version featured only twelve tracks, while the UK version removed the tracks by Joey Ramone
, Sarah McLachlan
and Blur
but added twelve more, making a total of 21 tracks. The artwork for the two versions is also completely different, with the UK's being much brighter. The Australia
and Latin America
releases are identical to the UK version.
