Maxine Weldon – I’m The Other Half Of You / Peggy Woods – You’d Better Be Good To My Baby 45 (Deep Soul) 7″ Vinyl

One of my favourite Spring singles has always been ‘I’m The Other Half Of You’ by the supremely talented singer/songwriter and producer Ray Godfrey aka Raeford Gerald. When we looked further at the multi-track master tapes of the session, we found a glorious female version, utilising the same backing track, by Maxine Weldon. It is so good it deserves the honour of a Deep Soul release.

Many decades earlier, we had found a beautiful Val Simpson and Nick Ashford song by the then unknown Peggy Woods, again such a beautiful recording is deserving of a 45 pressing for collectors.- Ace Records
