There have been two soundtrack albums released based on Trainspotting, the 1996 film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name.
The first album was released in February 1996 in the UK and 9 July 1996 in the US. The large fanbase for both the film and the original soundtrack prompted the release of a second soundtrack on 21 October 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 it and continue to press it since 16 June 2003.{{Cite web |last=Tregoning |first=Jack |date=Feb 28, 2021 |title=How The 'Trainspotting' Soundtrack Turned A Dispatch From The Fringes Into A Cult Classic |url=https://www.grammy.com/news/trainspotting-film-soundtrack-anniversary |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/8Oa4R |archive-date=September 3, 2024 |access-date=September 3, 2024 |website=Grammy Awards |quote=The soundtrack sold so well that a second volume followed in 1997, featuring other songs from the movie and a few that missed the cut.}}
