Jack The Ripper

Jack the Ripper - Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages
1963 
Label: Decca
Composer: Stacy, Haggin, Simmons
Original Key: A

This record never charted as it was a bit too strong to be broadcast. Its notoriety made it well known.
The record has the line "Mm, but if they do, man they'll get: The Leather - yeah!" which is a 
reference to the so called leather apron suspect who had proved not to be Jack.


Intro:
Sounds of a woman's footsteps and breathing, followed by her scream.
The song starts with a "dum de dum dum" dragnet riff followed by a monstrous
noise from Lord Sutch.
