The Little Mermaid: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack is the soundtrack to Disney's 1989 animated feature The Little Mermaid. It contains the songs from the film written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as the film's score composed by Alan Menken. The score was orchestrated by Thomas Pasatieri.
The soundtrack was first released on October 13, 1989 on both CD and cassette tape. On October 3, 2006, a new two-disc special edition version of the soundtrack was released to correspond with the two-disc Platinum Edition DVD release of The Little Mermaid. The first disc remains identical to the original release, yet with remastered audio, while the newly added second disc is composed of various newly recorded version of the film's songs by different artists, such as Ashley Tisdale, Raven-Symoné, The Jonas Brothers, and Jessica Simpson. It also included two videos, as well as new cover art.
The soundtrack was later followed up with The Legacy Collection: The Little Mermaid, a more comprehensive release that contained all of the music and songs from the original soundtrack, but also much instrumental and some vocal material that was previously unreleased.

Previously unreleased songs/score[]
Certain pieces of music from the movie remain unreleased in any format from Disney. At one time, the most important and most puzzling is a short reprise of "Poor Unfortunate Souls." This song has been unofficially named "Vanessa's Song" but until the release of The Legacy Collection soundtrack was never recognized or named by Disney.
