'''''Cuts Unleashed SA2 Vocal Collection''''' is a compilation of the seven theme songs of ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', plus one action stage theme, "[[Escape from the City]]". Just as was the case with the album releases of ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', the soundtrack was split in two, with this mini-album being released a month prior to the full game soundtrack, ''[[Multi-dimensional Sonic Adventure 2 Original Sound Track|Multi-dimensional]]''. The release itself came with a booklet containing linear notes from the composers, as well as a sticker featuring the images of [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]].

Cuts Unleashed SA2 Vocal Collection
Record label: Marvelous Entertainment Inc.

Cuts Unleashed SA2 Vocal Collection is a compilation of the seven theme songs in Sonic Adventure 2, plus one action stage theme, "Escape from the City." Taking a cue from the album releases of Sonic Adventure, this mini-album was commercially available a month before the rest of the game's soundtrack, Multi-dimensional. The release itself came with a booklet containing linear notes from the composers, as well as a sticker featuring the images of Sonic and Shadow.
