"The First 10 Explosive Years Volume 2" is a 2001 compilation album by British rock band Atomic Rooster.

Whilst being a very good compilation for fans of the band, it consists entirely of unlicensed tracks, whose copyright is owned by Sanctuary (who purchased the B&C and Dawn catalogues), EMI and Polydor Records.

It has been reissued and repackaged at least once: in 2004, it was teamed with The First Ten Explosive Years [Volume 1] and released on the Recall Records label (a subsidiary of Snapper Music) as a double CD titled Tomorrow Night.
