Buddha is a Blink-182 demo album that was originally released in 1993 (though the reissue 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 in San Diego. The album was first released on tape, and then Kung Fu Records reissued a remastered and remixed version with a different cover art and track listing. The remastered version was also available on (now out-of-print) cassette and vinyl.

[edit] Buddha Promo
The Buddha Promo demo was released in very limited quantities, and was only released to promote Buddha. It features some songs that were not available until Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch were released such as: Princess Leia (Early version of A New Hope (song)), Strung Out (Early version of Enthused), Ben Wah Balls, Does My Breath Smell?, and Wasting Time. It also includes an early version of the song "Voyeur" off Dude Ranch, which has a similar concept to the Dude Ranch but it has completely different riffs and lyrics.
