Belew Prints: The Acoustic Adrian Belew Volume Two is the eleventh solo album by Adrian Belew, released in 1998. A sequel to 1995's The Acoustic Adrian Belew, it reworks previous Belew songs via stripped-down arrangements for solo acoustic guitar and voice. Unlike its predecessor it sometimes expands the instrumentation - Belew also plays string bass, piano, drums and percussion at points on the record, and one song is arranged for an additional string quartet.

Contents

The album contains two reworked King Crimson songs which Belew co-wrote and performed with the band's 1990s incarnation ('Cage' and 'Dinosaur') and a Beatles cover ('Free as a Bird).
