Death Row: The Lost Sessions Vol. 1 is a compilation album by Snoop Doggy Dogg. The album was released on October 9, 2009 by Death Row Records and WIDEawake Entertainment. The album is composed of leftover material that Snoop recorded between 1993 and 1997 during his first stint on Death Row.

Four tracks were produced by Dr. Dre. The others were produced by other producers including Daz Dillinger, Soopafly and LT Hutton. The track "Doggystyle" had been intended as the title track for Snoop's first album, Doggystyle, in 1993, but was left off the album. The track has vocals by George Clinton. The album was released twice in 2009 as a CD by WIDEawake Entertainment. Tracks 16 to 18 are exclusive tracks for the second CD release.[1] The album reached number 22 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the US.[2]
