The RIDGED label pressing (one of the last) and toughest of the Deram PSYCH LPs to locate, "Fully Interlocking" from THE WEB is a true late-60s masterpiece.  As with many LPs from this genre, at the time of release sales were extremely low, so only a few copies were sold and even fewer exist now. A truly beautiful piece of Psych music history, it hardly gets much better than this.

So, bid now in order to win this gem or, after the auction has ended, sit back and wonder how you managed to let this MONSTER PSYCH RARITY pass you by.

 

As you'll see from the photo, this is the ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1stpressing made with RIDGED LABEL and machine-stamped matrices and not just another one of those ‘suspicious’ so-called "limited re-pressings" that are flooding the market.


 Any fan of The Web, the Psych and British Invasion scenes or 60smusic in general will simply love to add this gem in their collection.

 

Grading (the labels): The classic beige and white-halved labels with black print are virtually AS NEW with no discolourisation, very little wear or spindle marks, no ‘snail trails’  The labels have a deep ridge (similar to Decca's 'deep groove') meaning this is the very earliest pressing  Later, less desirable pressings, have a smooth label without the ridge.


Grading (the vinyl):
Housed within a fine example of the correct poly-lined inner sleeve, the record is strictly graded as EXCELLENT. No warps, or major scratches in fact looks hardly played, with a lovely sheen, and it plays wonderfully loud and clear throughout. Of course, with some modern styli and amplifiers, any lucky winning bidder would need to accept the possibility that a 45 year-old vinyl may produce a touch of background noise and static here and there. However, it has been professionally cleaned with a Moth cleaning machine and play tested, no jumps, clean separation all round given an Excellent to Near Mint condition grading – it seems to me to be in A1 condition. I think you’ll find it very hard to find another example in such a great condition as this at such a low starting price.

 

Grade (the sleeve): The original Clout & Baker Ltd sleeve has a laminated front and spine with mat reverse and is in truly great condition. No names, writing or nasty sticker residue on this one and its spine is uncreased.  It is hard to imagine that this incredible example would have looked any better when sold in the shop back in 1968.

 


Why buy this: Well t
his is considered by many to be a MONSTER of a PSYCH gem and is an incredibly sought-after item. This is also a RARE LP, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND in TOP condition, so don't miss out on the chance to get this incredible example. It might be your only chance to buy an ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1st STEREO LP pressing of "Fully Interlocking" by The Web in such great condition AND at such an advantageous price.

BEFORE bidding however, I would advise you to please read the following Payment,Shipping terms and conditions very carefully and, if you’re not happy with them, don’t bid !


You are more than welcome so feel free to check out my feedback and be sure of a great product and service. Happy bidding.


Payment: UK cheques or UK direct bank transfers may be made.  Of course, PayPal is accepted but bidders must accept the associated, non-negotiable shipping terms as stated below in "Shipping".

 

"SHIPPING"/POSTAL CHARGES: The actual cost to me of shipping items is always more than the cost of the stamp. For example, a record is carefully packaged inside a PVC sleeve, with cardboard stiffeners either side (to ensure item arrives in best possible condition) shipped individually in record mailer. It takes time to pack (as well as tape up) and then the cost of getting to and from the post office in town and with bad luck, parking charges.

 

I cannot accept any responsibility for payments/items lost or damaged if not covered by adequate insurance. If you use PayPal through the eBay checkout, the consequence of PayPal's rigid conditions is that all items must be sent by an adequately insured shipping method with proof of delivery (with no exceptions). So, for UK buyers this will mean Recorded Delivery up to a value of£51 and Special Delivery (at time of writing £9.95) for anything of a higher value. For overseas buyers it will also mean International Signed-For Airmail for any value. Shipping costs to any European Union country will be £14.95 and all other countries cost £19.95.

 

FOR MY PERSONAL SECURITY IF I DON’T KNOW YOU, I DO NOT ALLOW COLLECTION IN PERSON.

 

Please also note: I am just a private individual selling off items from my private collection, gathered over a 45+ year period of collecting.  I unreservedly retain the right to cancel bids from known defaulters or time wasters.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: DUE TO EVER INCREASING LEVELS OF FRAUD AND CORRUPT PRACTICES I'VE ENCOUNTERED, I WILL NOT POST ANY ITEMS TO EITHER ITALY, NIGERIA OR RUSSIA – SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE YOU BID.

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHOWING AN INTEREST IN THIS ITEM
