Ontinuous Performance is the fourth studio album by Scottish band Stone the Crows.

Despite Ontinuous Performance entering the Top 40, and Bell being voted Britain’s best female vocalist in a Melody Maker poll, the album and its associated tour left Bell with the feeling that it “was never going to work out”, citing “attitudes” that she doesn’t feel the need to revisit. Allen feels that industry politics was at play, and a disagreement with Leahy may have been used as a lever to split the band.

Harvey’s final recordings came out on Stone The Crows’ fourth album, Ontinuous Performance (the title inspired by a broken venue sign), released four months after his death, and included two guitar tracks from McCulloch. The record closed with Sunset Cowboy, a personal tribute to Harvey. 

Tracks:

01. On The Highway (Harvey, Leahy) – 5:32

02. One More Chance (Leahy) – 6:08

03. Penicillin Blues (Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee) – 5:29

04. King Tut (Harvey, Leahy) – 2:35

05. Good Time Girl (Allen, Bell, Thompson, Leahy) – 3:23

06. Niagara (Leahy) – 9:10

07. Sunset Cowboy (Allen, Leahy) – 6:39
