Harry Crosby Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Will be interesting to see what this goes for.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371445201990?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Chris Turnbull Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Lovely, wish I had the £££'s (or $$$'s)
Russ Vickers Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 It doesnt even have a proper grading...I would want to hear a soundfile personally...Best Russ
Harry Crosby Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 It doesnt even have a proper grading...I would want to hear a soundfile personally...Best RussThink i would too. 1
Russoul1 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 does state VG (very good) under item specificsbut I agree would want to hear a soundfilegreat tune......! 1
Pete S Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 You should hear the recording of this that Simon did where he managed to separate most of the vocal from the backing track, the singer sounds like he's drunk and slurs almost every word...what a racket

Corbett80 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Terribly sung absolutely f*cking mentally brilliant record. 2
Geeselad Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 seen it clear the floor a few times, too fast, for most nowadays
Corbett80 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I've only ever seen the opposite! Shame if it has cleared floors as it's excellent powerhouse soul 3
Mellorful Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Love the record but can't afford it, done the Euro lottery tonight in the remote hope that a jackpot win would put me into a buy it position. Are there any pictures of Damon Fox?If there are maybe someone could post a copy on discogsAtbStu
Corbett80 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 For some reason i imagine him to be Little Eddie Taylor-esque
Garethx Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 His record on Crimson is quite unique. A Prog-Deep Soul ballad with comedy sound effects. Almost like early Led Zep.
Chalky Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 People will pay for this regardless of the condition. Rarely comes up for sale. £8k the last one wasn't it?
Jim G Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 People will pay for this regardless of the condition. Rarely comes up for sale. £8k the last one wasn't it?There isn't even one on Popsike execpt an acetate sold in 2011. Never liked it, but appreciate it is rare as hell!
Tlscapital Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 His record on Crimson is quite unique. A Prog-Deep Soul ballad with comedy sound effects. Almost like early Led Zep.Always sounded like a kinda "prog" thing to me ears. Never ever liked it. Totally agree there with your comment; LZ... Rare and "northern soul" it is (was) ! But no soul at all in there. Would have love to grab one at any time to do a good trade...

Russoul1 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 sounded great last night played by mr Fortnum...and a busy dance floor too
Chalky Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 There isn't even one on Popsike execpt an acetate sold in 2011. Never liked it, but appreciate it is rare as hell!I don't recall seeing it on eBay, maybe in the early days. Although Popsicle doesn't show everything that's gone through eBay. I've seen it sold via dealers or collectors. One was £8k if memory serves another was half that.

Guest Aaron Darcy Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 seen it clear the floor a few times, too fast, for most nowadaysBig and rare 45 from back in the day always packed the dance floor , if you seen it clear the floor they must be handbaggers with poor taste.
Jim G Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Finished at £3,079 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-MONSTER-45-Damon-Fox-Fairmount-Lbl-Packing-Up-ORIGINAL-/371445201990?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=YSQ9Za8jRxREoYXg9827hputssU%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Mark W Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I'm amazed at that, thought it would have been double that. Recent times on eBay Rita and tiaras goes for 2.5k, phonetics just a boys dream goes for 3k, same as Damon fox. Those 2 are epic records in their own right, but not the same league as Packin Up, a true big time rarity, maybe even...can we say it, is it?? Dare say ho, ho holy grail !!!
