Cutey Honey: TV Original B.G.M. Collection (テレビオリジナルBGMコレクション キューティーハニー, Terebi Orijinaru BGM Korekushon Kyūtī Hanī), or simply Cutey Honey: BGM Collection, is the soundtrack to the original 1973 Cutie Honey anime. The soundtrack was released on vinyl (product number CX-7054) by Columbia Records on May 21, 1982.

Like a lot of soundtracks released at that time, the music scores in this release are abridged in order to meet the then standard limit of tracks. [3]
