Pack It In was a hit for Canadian rock group Buckstone Hardware in 1969. It made it into both the RPM 100 and the Canadian Content charts.
A fertile ground for the release of the single had been prepared with the group's recent appearances on CBC-TV's Sunday Morning Show and a week run at Electric Circus. This was also complemented with the band's appearances local and further afield.
