Guest MattB Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Anyone seen any of these for sale recently? Never seen one on ebay, think there may have been one or two on sales lists here, just wondering if anyone has bought one or seen one go recently and for what price? Are there a fair few about? Whats the condition like generally? Ta. Matt Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dean Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Not had time to look back through but I'm sure the Ellen and the Shandells one on JM only went for under £200, I can remember being disappointed I'd not gone for it thinking it would go too high for my wallet at the time. I got one (Dry Well) of ebay (Ex) a couple of years ago for £84. I did get another (Ex) about a year ago for under £40 and sold it on for £90. Played it at The Attic recently and someone was telling me about an album track version by The Hollies? I can't confirm that, and it was towards the end of the night so I could be remembering that wrong - anyone know? Dean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dean Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Snap! Lesson learned Trevski, usually bid now just in case, even tho I don't expect to get them on my budget. Would have happily paid out for that one, great dancer . . . . . . . . if only I could dance! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Played it at The Attic recently and someone was telling me about an album track version by The Hollies? I can't confirm that, and it was towards the end of the night so I could be remembering that wrong - anyone know? I don't know of a version by The Hollies but... "Gypsy" is written by Justin Hayward, he was a member of The Moody Blues and their version entitled "Gypsy (Of A Strange And Distant Time)" is included on the "To Our Children's Children's Children" LP from 1969. That Dry Well version is an out-and-out psych tune to my ears. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That Dry Well version is an out-and-out psych tune to my ears. I came into Northern Soul from a psych direction and when I first heard Gypsy-Dry Well, I was amazed it was classed as a Soul spin. However, it's a great tune whichever pidgeon hole one cares to bung it into and I'd love to hear it played out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
