Note: The first version of Sacrifice appeared on the episode “The Gift”; that version of the song was released on the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More, With Feeling” soundtrack. On this disc there is an “alternate version” of the same song; it seems that this particular version has been used in the “Bargaining” episode. There is some confusion in labeling this track as a consequence.
