The fourth release on Alan Kitchener's Soul Direction label, following up on the previously unreleased Eddie Holman Virtue acetate "Ready, Willing, Able" in Feb.

The CD also contains Gene Woodbury's version, who also recorded the original version of Bernie Williams' Northern Soul classic rarity "Ever Again" two years before Williams in 1967 (also on the CD).

The Flip side "Stop Before You­ Lose Me" is previously unreleased and both appear on vinyl for the first time.

The first YT video is the full version of "That’s Not Half Bad" whilst the second contains full versions of both sides.
