"Fully Interlocking" is the fourth album by the Dutch symphonic rock group Solution. It was released in 1977 on Rocket Records. The line "Fully interlocking" appears on jigsaw puzzle boxes, as referenced on the album cover.

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 Holland 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).
