Cutey Honey: TV Original B.G.M. Collection (テレビオリジナルBGMコレクション キューティーハニー, Terebi Orijinaru BGM Korekushon Kyūtī Hanī), or simply Cutey Honey: BGM Collection, is the soundtrack to the original 1973 Cutie Honey anime. The soundtrack was released on vinyl (product number CX-7054) by Columbia Records on May 21, 1982.[1] Columbia would re-release the soundtrack on compact disc several times: on February 1, 1990 (CC-4586),[1] on June 21, 1995 (COCC-12683),[1] on November 28, 2000,[citation needed] and on September 25, 2003 (COCC-72028) as the 28th installment of the first volume of the ANIMEX 1200 series.[1]

This album includes compositions by the show's composer Takeo Watanabe (渡辺岳夫, Watanabe Takeo).[2] It also includes the original version of the Honey theme song, performed by Yoko Maekawa (前川陽子, Maekawa Yōko). The closing theme was also performed by her as well. Like a lot of soundtracks released at that time, the music scores in this release are abridged in order to meet the then standard limit of tracks.[3]
