Sonic the Hedgehog 1&2 Soundtrack

Sonic the Hedgehog 1&2 Soundtrack (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ 1&2 サウンドトラック) is official soundtrack for original Sonic the Hedgehog from 1991 and its sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Both games are composed by Masato Nakamura, the bassist of Dreams Come True band. It was released only in Japan on 19 October 2011 during Sonic's 20th anniversary.

The album contains all original tracks from both games at the first disc, while the second disc contains Nakamura's demo recordings during the both games' development. The album also contains comments by one of Sonic's creators Yuji Naka, an interview of Masato Nakamura and several concept artworks from original Sonic the Hedgehog's development.

Disc 3
The disc 3 contains the original track from Dreams Come True called "Sweet Sweet Sweet", which is sung by Miwa Yoshida and which was then used as ending theme for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It has also the English-language version of the song, and two remixes from 2006 by Akon, which were used in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
 * 1) SWEET SWEET SWEET (5:15)
 * 2) SWEET DREAM (5:14)
 * 3) SWEET SWEET SWEET -06 AKON MIX- (4:41)
 * 4) SWEET DREAM -06 AKON MIX- (4:16)

Trivia

 * Because all tracks at the album are only composed by Masato Nakamura, small music jingles of Drowning and Chaos Emerald aren't included at the album, as they are actually composed by Yukifumi Makino. This can also explain why these jingles are used through the whole series.
 * The unused song would have been heard in Hidden Palace Zone, which was the last level scrapped shortly before development of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was completed. The theme can still be heard as "Track #10", as well as if the player hacks into the zone's remnants in the final game. Masa's Demo Version shows it would have had a slower tempo, and notably doesn't have a loop point.
