Pig Rider

Founded in Kent in the late sixties, Pig Rider and its many offshoots have seen nearly 60 different players. Original membersColin Kitchener and John Mayes however have always beenconstant factors. This is a vinyl reissue of their unofficialLP 'Bloody Turkey Sandwiches', originally pressed by the English custom label Deroy as a very private edition of six acetates in 1974. Musically we're talking electric acid folk with a stoned DIY vibe and lo-fi sound, bizarre and funny lyrics, effects, backward bits, surreal humour, psychedelic skiffle, old-time music hall parodies and brilliant folk-rock-pop. With titles s.a. 'Interdrive Overstella', 'Be Glad For The Song Has An Ending', 'Pus In Our Time' and 'Have You Seen Your Neighbour In The Bath', the songs are suitable for fans of a.o. Incredible String Band, Bonzo Dog Band, Syd Barrett and R. Stevie Moore. Oddly, some moments also remind of bands that would't appear 'til some 20 years later, including Olivia Tremor Control, Ween and They Might Be Giants. Edition of 300 copies with sound from the master tapes and an insert offering photos and lyrics.
