Beeswax: Some B-Sides 1977–1982 is a compilation album by English rock band XTC, released in November 1982 by Virgin Records. It was initially released as a "free bonus album" shrinkwrapped with the A-side collection Waxworks: Some Singles 1977-1982.
Critical reception
Trouser Press considered the album "not deathless music, but inventive as always and decidedly unpretentious." In a retrospective review, AllMusic felt that while XTC's B-sides were "often as engaging as the A-sides, their addition to the CDs as bonus tracks now makes this collection redundant."
