"The Buffy EP" is the second release by Velvet Chain. It was released to the Internet in February 1999, and for sale in the US in October of the same by the Freak Records label. It arose out of the appearance of Velvet Chain in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, from which it derives its title and title track. With the exception of the remix of "Frenchie" the songs on the EP are mellow pieces dominated by the vocals of Erika Amato.
