Belew Prints: The Acoustic Adrian Belew Volume Two is the eleventh solo album by Adrian Belew, released in 1998. A sequel to 1993's The Acoustic Adrian Belew, it features stripped-down acoustic arrangements of previously recorded Belew songs. The instrumentation mainly consists of acoustic guitars- but Belew also plays piano, acoustic bass, drums and percussion on some songs. "Men In Helicopters" is performed with a string quartet.

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').
