THE SOFT BOYS - TWO HALVES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE (1981)
"Two Halves for the Price of One" was released posthumously on Armageddon Records in 1981. That album is actually two, with individually titled sides and cover art: "Lope at the Hive" was recorded at London's Hope and Anchor, while "Only the Stones Remain" contains otherwise unreleased oddities mixed in both chronology and quality. Though some of the songs featured here have been reissued in CD format (see "Anthology 76-81"), the album itself has never been made available again and will be of particular interest to fans of this fine group.
Special note : Yep Roc release the second Robyn Hitchcock box in August. Bongo Beat will be releasing the new Kimberley Rew CD and reissuing 'Bible of Bop' later in 2008. Purchase these.

Thanks ... I'd just pulled this vinyl out and it was on my pile to rip. At some point, I'll get the "Portland Arms" album prepared properly ...

Does anyone read this or am I too late? 20 years ago WMBR played two days worth of Soft Boys and my girlfriend (at the time) taped the entire thing. I was lucky enough to hear the Portland Arms show and need to hear it again. Unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere except a Russian site that I don't quite trust. Please please someone post a link or make me a cd, I'll send a pack of blanks as a thank you. I don't know if I should post my email address but it's worth it--

Some words to a song I wrote a long time ago called Love Is A Beautiful Thing (I Want You Dead)
are "You keep the sheets I'll keep the drapes We'll fight it out for the Soft Boys tapes"
Thanks for listening--
cheers for this angelo... sweet.x
