The second Glee soundtrack, Glee: The Music, Volume 2, is set to be released on December 8th, 2009 by Columbia Records. It will feature songs from episodes 9 -13 (”Wheels” through “Sectionals”) and will not be the last soundtrack for season one.
Personally, I cannot wait for “True Colors” and “My Life Would Suck Without You!” And co-creator Brad Falchuk says that the cast performance of “Imagine,” which is a collaboration with a deaf choir, is truly something special. “I’m warning you to prepare for that,” says Falchuk. “There’s been no one who’s watched that number and not cried. It’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen.”
If you follow me on Twitter (@GleekRob), then you would know that we now have a LA rep for GleeFan.com! I have known Shelly for a while now through our sister site, GleeForum.com, and she is awesome! She lives in the LA area and has had the chance to go to multiple Glee events, including the screening of the second episode and Q&A at Outfest 2009 and the taping of episode 13, “Sectionals”. If you have a Twitter account, make sure to follow her! (@GleekShelly)
Here is her report of her most recent adventure at the Glee soundtrack signing at The Grove in LA. The rest of the report is after the jump. Enjoy! :)
I arrived at The Grove at around 3 pm, and was told to line up down the block from Barnes and Noble and Banana Republic. There was already a massive line down the side of the store and around the corner – the first group in line had gotten there at around 11 am.
Note: Cast members will only be signing copies of the Glee CD. One item signed per person.

Update: According to Dante Di Lorento (producer, @GleeTV), both Walmart and Target will be selling special editions of the new soundtrack. What’s so special, you might ask? According to Walmart.com, their version contains three bonus karaoke versions of “Take A Bow”, “Gold Digger”, and “Somebody To Love”. Instead, the Target version includes the Acafellas’ “I Wanna Sex You Up,” Jayma Mays’ “I Could Have Danced All Night,” and Matthew Morrison’s “Leaving On a Jet Plane.” Lastly, iTunes includes the bonus track of the Cheerios’ performance of “Say a Little Prayer.” Definitely worth the trips to Target and Wally World, in my opinion. ;)
Update 2: Here’s a video recorded by Amber Riley from today’s signing! :)
Here’s some info on the new Glee soundtrack that will be released in November. If sales go well, there will be a Volume 2 released in December!
Twentieth TV is teaming with Columbia Records to release a series of soundtracks from Fox’s upcoming musical drama “Glee.”
The partners will release “Glee: The Music, Volume 1” on Nov. 3. It contains 17 tracks performed during the show’s first season.
The move follows the success of the cast’s cover of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” which hit No. 1 on the iTunes chart following its use in the show’s pilot, which was previewed last season after “American Idol.”
Selections on the first soundtrack include renditions of Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” and Kanye West’s “Gold Digger.”
