"a few faint passing bits of surface noise in the pressing" is how it was described in the last and only time it shows up on popsike. -------------------------------------------------------------------COVER HAS SOME SERIUS WATER DAMAGE TO BOTTOM AREA, DOES NOT EFFECT FRONT IMAGE AS MUCH AS BACK IMAGE. PICTURES SHOWN. THIS COPY COMES WITH INSERT WITH LYRICS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HERE ARE TWO REVIEWS:-----------------------One of the best still unknown NYC loner private press LPs mixes jangly electric garage folkrock delights like "Tiny Emmett", "I'll Fight Them Back" with spooky desolate loner folk downers like "Blind Alley", "A Memory To Forget", opens with a terrific beatnikish noir "Big Mama" ("big mama don't you pull my chain..."), a creepy dark track "Last Call", whole LP is very basement obscure atmosphere in the right way. Has that lost and lonely loser feel right down to the b&w pic of him brooding on the cover. No label name but has # 6983 and was pressed in 1979 with the title "Strength Of Materials". . The sort of loner LP that keeps getting deeper in your head each play! Real people next door make an LP vibes!------------------------------------------------release by Pavlo himself in 1979. Recorded in New York between 1977 and 1979 with the participation of Greek and American musicians, this is an ultra rare album, rated as R4 in the recent Acid Archives book. Original copies are impossible to get be tracked down as there were only 100 pressed back then. Obscure real-people album. Americana meets downer folk. With Dylanesque (Blonde On Blonde era) and just a tinge of blues influences, but also with an excellent melodic and melancholic atmosphere that makes “Strength of Materials” the ultimate late-night listening choice. Not in acid at all; rather a fair singer/songwriter effort which beats many of the so called U.S. downer-folk legends specialy on songs like “Blind alley”, “I’m only waiting” and “Last call”. Pavlo sang and played most of the instruments while session musicians who helped were Nick Doikas on bass, Akis Perdikis and Harry Kalaidjis on drums, Sam Feldman on tuba and Jeannine & Debbie on vocals. Pavlo V (Vakatatsis) had started his career in the early 70’s as the founder/leader of the greek underground band “Ionathan” (“Jonathan”) along with bassist Doikas. Their only surfaced single is one of the rarest ever released by a major company in Greece. Later, all three, Vakatatsis, Doikas, Perdikis worked with “Spyridoula” rock band. This will be an official limited to 150 only copies reissue and it will contain the original lyrics sheet as well as an extra insert with photos and notes/bio written by Pavlo V and Akis Perdikis (the drummer on some of the album recordings) themselves.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CHECK OUT THE OTHER LISTINGS.
