Have a careful listen and you can hear that the vocal was slowed mechanically. In other words, you record the track, play it back at a slightly faster speed to record the vocals, then you master the disc at the correct tempo and the voice is magicly deeper. It was a common technique in the 60's, but usually employed in reverse, that is the vocal was recorded at a slower tempo and key, then speeded back up to the correct pitch. It was an analogue form of pitch shifting if you like.
Never forget hearing that one on the great sound system at Blackpool Mecca. And it's right, you can't get more Northern.
Now pass me a bottle of coke...
PS Once called my girlfriend a "fine foxy thing". She's still laughing now!
