Excursion on the Version is the second and final album by the English band Beats International, released in 1991. The title refers to the reggae terminology for borrowing sounds and rhythms from existing songs to create new versions; Norman Cook adopted the phrase to describe his production methods.
"In the Ghetto" peaked at No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart, the highest position of the album's three charting singles. The band supported the album by embarking on a tour of Africa, after which they broke up. The album was not initially released in South Africa, due to the country's human rights abuses.
