Lovely, wish I had the £££'s (or $$$'s) 

It doesnt even have a proper grading...I would want to hear a soundfile personally...

Think i would too.

does state VG (very good) under item specifics

but I agree would want to hear a soundfile

great tune......!

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

Oooh baby, I’m packing up

Leaving this town

Lonely blues got me down

Since my baby’s spreading news around

About this new love that she’s found

I’ve got my bags waiting at the station

I’ve already made my reservation

I can’t show my hurt, might lose my reputation

I quit hanging round, making conversation

I’m packing up; I’ve got leave, to another town, yeah

 

Oh baby I’m packing up, leaving this town

Lonely blues, got me down

Since my baby’s spreading news around

About this new love that’s she’s found

I’ve got my bags waiting at the station

Well gee this is a bad situation

That’s why my bags are down at the station

Well see this is bad situation

I’m packing up, I’ve got leave, some other town, yeah

Oh baby, oh baby

Oh baby

Oh, I’ve got go, I can’t take it

I can’t let you know, I can’t take it

I can’t let you know, I’m gone baby

Bye, bye, baby

Bye, bye baby

Bye, bye, baby

Bye baby

Terribly sung absolutely f*cking mentally brilliant record.

seen it clear the floor a few times, too fast, for most nowadays

I've only ever seen the opposite!

 

Shame if it has cleared floors as it's excellent powerhouse soul

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 discogs

For some reason i imagine him to be Little Eddie Taylor-esque

His record on Crimson is quite unique. A Prog-Deep Soul ballad with comedy sound effects. Almost like early Led Zep.

People will pay for this regardless of the condition. Rarely comes up for sale. £8k the last one wasn't it?

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...

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.

Big 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.

Finished at £3,079

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 !!!
