The Trainspotting soundtracks are two soundtrack albums released following the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh‘s novel of the same name.
The first album was released in February 1996 in the UK and July 9, 1996 in the US. The comparatively huge fanbase for both the film and the original soundtrack prompted a release of a second soundtrack on October 21, 1997.
This second album included songs from the film that did not make the cut for the first album, as well as songs that did not appear in the final film but were involved at earlier stages or were used as inspiration by the filmmakers, and one duplicate song. The popularity of the first volume led EMI to reissue and continue to press it from 16 June 2003.
