About

Foxbase Beta is a 2009 remixed and re-worked version of Saint Etienne's 1991 debut album, Foxbase Alpha. It was 're-produced' from the original multi-tracks by Richard X. This new version was called Foxbase Beta, and formed the basis of much of what was played during the band's May 2009 tour, which saw Foxbase Alpha played live in its entirety for the first time. Foxbase Beta was packaged with an additional CD titled Foxbase Extra, featuring a commentary on the album by Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Richard X, and additional out-takes.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Un-numbered single disc edition of this album issued in a digipak similar to the fanclub 2xCD edition (opens in a new tab), albeit with a slightly different catalog number (no "LTD" appended on the end) and without the bonus disc (its corresponding tracklisting is of course not printed on back). This version was initially exclusively available through Rough Trade Shops, but remaining copies were later sold in both the Saint Etienne and Hea
