All That: The Album is the soundtrack of musical performances and sketch clips from the hit Nickelodeon television series All That . It was released by Columbia Records, Interscope Records and Nick Records on November 26, 1996.
The album was created and recorded in 1994–1996. The songs were from musical guests in Season 1 (1994-1995) through Season 2 (1995-1996). The dialogues were directly from All That sketches like "Good Burger/Good Weenie", "Vital Information", and "Superdude". This CD was not released till a week after the premiere of Season 3, so Amanda Bynes is not in the CD, nor is Angelique Bates, due to her small number of characters in the show, but she was heard briefly in the "Miss Fingerly v. Bacteria" dialogue.
After the release of iCarly CD, it contained dialogues like All That: The Album, but they were recorded to recap certain episodes from the first season. The Drake & Josh soundtrack and Zoey 101: Music Mix did not contain any dialogues from their releases.
