About this album

Hands Of Jack The Ripper is a raucous cult hard rock album that turns Lord Sutch’s horror-rock persona into full-blown garage swagger. Issued in 1972, it leans on familiar rock ’n’ roll standards and hard-driving riffs, giving the set a loose, party-starting energy rather than polished studio gloss. The material draws on the rowdy end of hard rock and rock ’n’ roll, with Sutch’s theatrical delivery keeping the mood chaotic and playful. As part of the early-1970s shock-rock tradition, it stands as a spirited oddity: less about finesse than attitude, volume and outrageous character.
