COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED DECCA COMPANY INNER SLEEVE DATED FEBRUARY 1968 ('2-68')
One of the more eclectically inclined bands to emerge out of the British psychedelic scene, the Web hailed from the same neck of the woods as Robert Fripp, Greg Lake, and Al Stewart, and very much shared in the same serious outlook that characterised those talents.
Jazz-tinged and blues-laden, the Web moved to London in 1966, eventually signing to one of the few labels that actually seemed geared toward their darkly uncommercial brew, Decca's Deram subsidiary, but the three albums the band cut were never going to set the charts on fire, no matter how sincerely atmospheric the music therein.
Moodily produced by Mike Vernon, 1968's Fully Interlocking debut is generally regarded as the band's finest hour, a thoughtful and oftentimes dense exploration of themes, rhythms, and melancholies that were uniquely their own

LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked labels with moderate spindle traces.
Seen a few spins but very well cared for
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Apart from some very, very light bag rash (which has no audible consequence) the surfaces are pretty much unmarked
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with nothing to fault.
No scratches, clicks, pops or groove wear and clean on the quieter sections.
Great copy of this rare LP, haven't seen one better
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
A small tear on the back opening edge (please see close-up photo) is the only thing preventing a NM grading for the cover.
The front laminate is clean and unmarked with a glass-like gloss and the back is remarkably clean.
All edges are sharp and all spine text is clear and bold
