Northern Soul: GYPSY - Dry Well. Psychedelic Soul!

A furiously uptempo 45 that has Northern Soul dancers in a frenzy wherever it's played. Written by Justin Hayward, this version on the Lauren record label knocks spots off The Moody Blues original. Is it Psychedelic, Soul or Garage? Who cares. Just turn up the volume and stomp away!

I think it was covered as Elaine & Chandelles. Top Tune thanks for posting !

[HarveySoulFinger]

@scunnysoulboy: Just to clarify, Ellen & The Shandels on La Salle records. Same group, same song, but much harder to find than this one.

I'm mostly a Mod with a general interest in 6Ts music. I love Northern, I was sure I knew this but couldn't remember it being played out. Until the Moody Blues comment sent me scurrying to my collection and bingo! I prefer this version though.
