Screaming Lord Sutch - Jack The Ripper 1963

[@EzSasuke]

One of the very first promotional vids right there known as a "scopitone"

[@TheBim1987]

The last lady to be murdered in this video is another of Joe Meeks artists, it's Kim Roberts.

[@alexfletcher5192]

Is he not a pioneer? Am I fucking imagining everybody looking 'normal' before this? And, my God, the public found rock and roll enough of a challenge...

[@gabi.m.hshshs8913]

Well, another crazy bastard was screamin jay hawkins: with i put a spell on you. brilliant, both of them anyway

[@russellsimonds7148]

He even predates Arthur Brown. The true father of Shock Rock

[@themoviedealers]

These Scopitones are bloody treasures

John Bonham and Jimmy Page also played with Lord Sutch. Gary Brooker of Procol Harem also played keyboard for a short time.

[@moobutt]

Jeff Beck

[@sweetpurple8812]

Yep and they all came to help him on his metal album "Screaming Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends"

Four killed in under three minutes. That has to be a record... for a scopitone :D Very cool video haha.

[@westbayk2156]

Pop goes the Hammer.

[@CorinneHughes-v6z]

I am watching this at 3am why did you do this to me?

[@butters395]

he looks like the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang 🤔

[@PrinceRyanMcReynolds]

I don't know if I could call this a heavy metal song but a precursor yes, but for sure a shock rock song although the 1st shock rock song is really I Put A Spell On You by Screamin Jay Hawkins

[@RexMundiarcadia]

One of a kind!

[@ElylagitanadelWeb]

This song has music that is impossible not to make you shake as if you were shaking 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Dim4323]

Founder of the monster raving loony party

[@breezebenitses397]

We used to watch this in the amusement arcade in caister norfolk in '64/65. I think that it was 1d 3d or 6d old money in the slot. Great to see it after all these years

[@NealeTurner]

It's amazing to think that in that year, 1964, the author Tom Cullen spoke to a retired barrow boy who as a young boy knew Mary Jane Kelly and lived in the East end at the time of the ripper murders

[@lenathompson4856]

was Nicky Hopkins playing the piano on this?

[@hellobonappetit1657]

YES very possibly. He was the original keyboard player in the band. Born Peryvale, Middsex. I checked his CV. Very nicing!!!

[@JoeMeekSociety]

Possibly geoff goddard as he worked with meek who produced

[@Buzzer365]

No, he had left the band in 1962. Keyboard here would probably be Freddy 'Fingers' Lee.

[@snarkus63]

Wow....the British Monster Mash.

[@djbryanladd]

Alice who??

[@joekugelman4196]

I like it!!!! First time I heard it!
