History

Like the preceding album Cordon Bleu, Fully Interlocking was produced by Gus Dudgeon and released on the label he set up with Elton John. Another name reappearing from Cordon Bleu was engineer Phil Dunne, while Hipgnosis again did the artwork. This time the recording location was switched from Wales to The Sol in Cookham, England.

Fully Interlocking comprised four jazzy instrumental pieces sandwiched by two vocal songs, the lyrics of which were written by singer Guus Willemse. This album shares the highest quantity of instrumental tracks with their first album Solution (1971); the other four albums they released included more songs with lyrics. "Give Some More" was released as a single in Europe, backed by an edit of "Chappaqua" from Cordon Bleu. "Empty Faces" was also a 45, with "French Melodie" as the B-side.

Fully Interlocking charted in the Netherlands on 5 November 1977, reaching #30 and spending 7 weeks on the chart.

The album was re-released by CBS in 1980 (again on vinyl) and 1988 (on CD).

gollark: I'm not saying much about the *other* exploit, because that would provide clues about it.
gollark: There are issues I know of in GPS (pretty obvious, hard to exploit, hard to patch), rednet repeaters (not useful to exploit, easy to patch, not too obvious), rednet itself (obvious, easily exploitable, but most people making serious programs are already aware), potatOS (very non-obvious, not a huge issue as accidental RCE still isn't possible, easy to exploit if you know how).
gollark: We should make CVEs for useless CC bugs!
