"Buddha" is a
Blink-182 album that was originally released in 1993 (though the re-issue erroneously notes 1995) and released on CD for the first time in 1998. It was recorded over three rainy nights on a 24 track recording system at Double Time Studios inSan Diego, California , according to the CD's liner notes. The album was one of the few Blink-182 albums released with the band name as "Blink".The album was first released on cassette, but was later re-released on
Kung Fu Records featuring a remix and remaster of the original album with different cover art and a different track listing. The remastered version was also available on cassette and vinyl, but is now out of print.Track listing
