The international release (June 1997) replaced the songs "Someone Else's Home" and "Moon Shines on Trubble" with "Opportunities" and "Trike," supposedly to increase its overseas appeal by including songs that didn't explicitly reference Sydney or Australia. The international version also replaced the sleeve photo of the ubiquitous Australian overhead telegraph pole with a simpler photo of the band playing live. Unlike the original issue, the new cover also had the virtue of fitting in with You Am I's recurring theme of retro-styled album covers.

Beat Party! (Live At Wiseold's)

Some copies of the album came with a live bonus disc, featuring songs recorded in May 1996 with Greg Hitchcock on second guitar and organ.
