Bedroom/lo-fi psychedelia by unsung heroes of the '80s DIY cassette culture scene. From outsider synth-pop to Barrett-esque lysergic folk; from lo-fi garage-punk to basement prog: acid-fuzz guitars, cheap keyboards, primitive electronics, homemade vibes, and bizarre, funny lyrics. Pig Rider were formed in Kent, UK, in the late '60s by John Mayes and Colin Kitchener. With the 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, highly sought after since a review of Heterophonies appeared in Richard Morton Jack's Galactic Ramble book. In 2013, collector Alexandre Mansuy (from the influential Somewhere There Is Music blog) found Mayes and Kitchener and was astonished when they told him their story: Heterophonies was only one of their many, many great recordings, 22 in all, including 45s, acetates, and tapes. Thanks to Mansuy, Guerssen is launching comprehensive Pig Rider reissue campaign, starting with The Robinson Scratch Theory. The compilation, compiled by Mansuy, includes tracks originally recorded between 1980 and 1986 and released as private cassettes. Pig Rider's sound brings to mind obscure DIY bands like The Desperate Bicycles, Instant Automatons, or Beyond the Implode - if those bands knew how to write catchy and well-crafted songs. But the most amazing thing is that Pig Rider were creating this kind of music for their own amusement without any knowledge of the post-punk or DIY movement. Although they were listening to bands like the Bonzo's, Pink Floyd, and The Misunderstood - "I played their 'Children of the Sun' 45 until the groove was worn out!" says Kitchener - Pig Rider claim that the main influence on what they played was the availability of instruments and what they could do with them - not always what they were designed for - and always pushing their limits. The Robinson Scratch Theory is presented in master tape sound with an insert/booklet containing detailed liner notes andphotos. The double CD edition includes four bonus tracks that are also available as a free download via Bandcamp. The compilation is released in advance of first-ever reissues of two of Pig Rider's ultra-rare '70s acetates, Bloody Turkey Sandwiches (1974) and Heterophonies (1975). Welcome to the twisted world of one of the truly pioneering DIY psychedelic pop bands.

This product is da' BALM! (a softening balm that's the best moisturizer for all skin types!)
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So many of these are all over social media and I wasn't sure to order a whipped version, or just a balm, so I went with the balm and I'm totally satisfied. No breakouts to my sensitive, mature dry skin, and the scent is light citrus and non-lingering. I suggest to lightly swirl finger tips inside the container in a circular motion and scoop a tiny amount then rub both fingertips together to warm the product as this is key to make it glide smoothly onto your skin, otherwise, you are having to re-dip into the product and use more than you will need. I use it AM/PM right after my facial serums, and follow with SPF moisturizer. I'm not a fan of foundation or powder to avoid the caked on look, but use a little creme blush when heading to work, and will dab a little concealer where needed too. I've been using my Ancestral Haven Beef Tallow/Honey Balm a couple of weeks now and my pores seem smaller than when using any of my previous French pricey skin products! I use this on my face and lightly under eyes, neck, decollete and the heels/sides of my feet every morning. Any remaining product I apply to top my hands. It absorbs quickly without being greasy. If you experience an oily result, then lighten your next application as the product is light if you don't warm it up with your fingertips. I highly recommend and can't wait to tell my dermatologist about it too! Oh and my 86 years young mom uses this daily and loves it too! (Christmas gifts coming her way so she doesn't deplete my supply - lol).

Tried 100’s of product and this is all my son lets me use on him willingly!
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The ONLY product I can put on my child’s eczema and allergy problematic skin and not irritate his skin. My son has TERRIBLE SKIN that is EXTREMELY sensitive and to top that off, he also picks at his scabs. This is the only product I’ve ever been able to use on him and use up the entire product because he doesn’t breakout in a rash, it doesn’t sting his skin in even the worst of areas that are freshly picked scabs, and that’s a huge deal for us! It is extremely moisturizing and although slightly greasy, it’s a much better feeling on the skin then what you get from a Aquaphor or petroleum jelly. That and my son absolutely cannot stand the texture of Aquaphor and petroleum jelly, but with the tallow, he doesn’t hardly say a word as long as I don’t put it on too thick. This can be layered for extra protection in problem areas, or worked into the skin and absorbs quite nicely and feels fantastic! It has a very mild scent that I truly love, but the scent doesn’t really travel outside the jar so you know it’s very minimal. After the hundreds of products that I’ve tried and the thousands of dollars wasted over the years, I will continue to purchase this as my holy grail for my son’s extremely sensitive skin condition. Thank you so much!!!! And I will upload pictures of before and after so be sure to see how well it’s healed his skin within a week of use!

Amazing smell, awesome price, and nothing synthetic
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is a new staple in my skincare regimen! With no synthetic perfumes dyes, or preservatives, it smells wonderful, melts into my skin without leaving a greasy film. I use it morning and evening on my face and body, and my skin never feels dry. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized and I have this on subscription. The price is great, at about $20 for 5 Oz of nonwhipped, but soft, balm.

Perfect consistency and gentle enough for rosacea
Scent: Honey & Sweet Orange, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is one of the best tallow-based moisturizers I’ve tried. I rarely leave reviews, but this product truly deserves one. The consistency is perfect—rich and nourishing without feeling heavy or greasy, and it absorbs beautifully into the skin. It doesn’t feel thick or like you’re wearing a mask.
The scent is also very mild with a light hint of orange that fades quickly after application, which I really appreciate since many natural products can be overpowering.
I have rosacea and very sensitive skin, and this is one of the few natural skincare products that hasn’t caused irritation or redness. It leaves my skin feeling calm, hydrated, and balanced.
If you’re looking for a high-quality tallow moisturizer for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
