Released after the band had broken up, Two Halves was exactly what it claimed. Individually titled and designed as a double A-Side, Only the Stones Remain collected their last studio sessions up against Lope at the Hive, a swaggering, gutsy set recorded live at the Hope & Anchor. A few of the songs later made it onto the 1976-1981 compilation, but the full album has never been reissued. Never one to hide their influences, The Soft Boys indulge in numerous cover songs here, with a faithful rendition of the The Bells of Rhymney on the studio side, and rollicking versions of Astronomy Domine, Outlaw Blues, and Mystery Train finishing out their live set.

BTW Mystery Train file is corrupt. I DLed 2x to check. Cuts out after 50 sec or so.
Any chance for a reup?
Thx
Re-upped. Should work this time.
Thank you sincerely for keeping this file available for so long. May your skies be ever clear and blue. Gene
Blurt!
