Volume 2 is a compilation album by American heavy metal band CKY. It was released by Distant Recordings and Teil Martin International on February 27, 1999, the same day as the band's debut studio album Volume 1. The album features a number of early demo recordings, as well as skits and samples from the first CKY video, and recordings of prank calls performed by Brandon DiCamillo.
Often considered a soundtrack album for the first CKY video, Volume 2 was produced early in CKY's career, largely during sessions for Volume 1 and earlier demos. In contrast to other releases by the band, the album features a number of comedic tracks included in the CKY video, as well as various skits and other rough recordings. Multiple songs have been subsequently released in other forms.
Recording for Volume 2 took place between 1996 and 1998 in various locations: tracks were recorded by guitarist Chad I Ginsburg on a 24-track tape and an ADAT in Newtown, Pennsylvania, drummer Jess Margera on a 4-track tape in West Chester, Pennsylvania, John Teague on an ADAT in Westtown, Pennsylvania, and Dave Kurtz on an 8-track tape in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.Brandon DiCamillo's prank calls were recorded by DiCamillo and Margera in West Chester.
The songs on Volume 2 largely include rough demos of subsequently released songs, early recordings of songs later released by Foreign Objects (a band featuring CKY members Deron Miller and Margera), and alternate mixes and recordings of Volume 1 tracks.Volume 2 is the original album on which the song "Shippensburg" was released. Originally recorded in 1997 for Volume 1, but later removed as it "didn't fit well with the album", "Shippensburg" became one of the most popular songs among CKY fans, as noted by drummer Jess Margera when revealing the news of 2011 compilation B-Sides & Rarities, on which the song also features.
