Screaming Lord Sutch : Story


David Edward Sutch (10 November 1940 – 16 June 1999), also known as Screaming Lord Sutch, 3rd Earl of Harrow or simply Screaming Lord Sutch, was an English musician and aspirant politician.
During the 1960s, Screaming Lord Sutch was known for his horror-themed stage show, dressing as Jack the Ripper, pre-dating the shock rock antics of Alice Cooper. Accompanied by his band, The Savages, he started by coming out of a black coffin.
Despite self-confessed lack of vocal talent, he released horror-themed singles during the early to mid-'60s, the most popular "Jack the Ripper", covered live and on record by garage rock bands including the White Stripes, The Black Lips and The Horrors for their debut album, Strange House.

Sutch's album Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends was named in a 1998 BBC poll as the worst album of all time

For his follow-up, Hands of Jack the Ripper, Sutch assembled British rock celebrities for a concert at the Carshalton Park Rock 'n' Roll Festival. The show was recorded (though only Sutch knew), and it was released to the surprise of the musicians. Musicians on the record included Ritchie Blackmore (guitar) Matthew Fisher (keyboard) Carlo Little (drums) Keith Moon (drums) Noel Redding (bass) and Nick Simper (bass).

In the Rolling Stones song "Get Off of My Cloud", the guy who shows up "All dressed up just like a Union Jack" was Lord Sutch uninvited in Mick Jagger's room.

He couldn't properly be considered part of the British Invasion he never had a hit in the U.S. or the U.K. but Screaming Lord Sutch laid some unheralded groundwork for the phenomenon.






With a rock & horror act based to a large degree on Screamin' Jay Hawkins, David "Lord" Sutch was one of the first genuine rock & roll longhairs, and his bands employed such sterling instrumentalists as Jimmy Page , Jeff Beck , Ritchie Blackmore , Nicky Hopkins , and Mitch Mitchell before they became famous.

Sutch suffered from depression and committed suicide by hanging on 16 June 1999, following the death of his mother the previous year.


JACK THE RIPPER

Huh-uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh-uh, aaaaaaaah!
Wuaaaaah
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

There's a man who walks the streets of London late at night
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
With a little black bag that's oh-so tight
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
He's got a big black cloak hangin' down his back
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
Well, that's a one big cat I just a hate to fight
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

When he walks down the streets
To every girl he meets, he says, is your name Mary Blood?
Uaaaaaaah!

The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

When she walks down the streets, he's never far behind
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
With his little black bag and his one tracked mind
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
Well, he nearly catches up when the lights go down
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
'Cause that's the time he starts his dirty, uh, chop-around
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

When he walks down the streets
To every girl he meets, he says, is your name Mary Blood?
Uaaaaaaah!

The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

Scotland Yard'll never catch him, 'cause he's a much too clever
He's much too clever
Mm, but if they do, man, they'll get: The Ripper - yeah!

The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

Well, the streets of London kinda never safe
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
Whenever Jack The Ripper ever shows his face
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
So, you pretty little girlies, take a-my advice
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
And don't walk the streets of London late at night
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

When he walks down the streets
To every girl he meets, he says, is your name Mary Blood?
Uaaaaaaah!

The Ripper, Jack The Ripper
The Ripper, Jack The Ripper

Wuaaaaah ....
