Pig Rider was formed in Kent, UK, in the late '60s by John
Mayes and Colin Kitchener. With a lil' help from some friends
they recorded and self-released a series of acetate only
psych-folk albums in the mid-'70s ('Heterophonies', 'Bloody
Turkey Sandwiches'), which are prime examples of early DIY
psychedelic music, and highly sought-after since a review of
'Heterophonies' appeared in the 'Galactic Ramble' book. This
DOUBLE-DISC compilation however features tracks recorded
between 1980 and 1986, a period in which the members listened
to the Bonzos, Pink Floyd and The Misunderstood. Although these bands were influences, the music is largely characterized by
the available instruments and what could be done with them,
also in unconventional ways. The result? A totally unique style
of DIY psychedelic pop! Truly jaw dropping stuff! This CD edition comes with four bonus tracks.

Also available: THE ROBINSON SCRATCH THEORY (2LP) (LP).
