British musician, Screaming Lord Sutch, was born on 10 November 1940 in Hampstead, Middlesex. He gained fame as the frontman for early shock rock acts Screaming Lord Sutch And The Savages and Lord Sutch And Heavy Friends. Additionally, he made a significant impact as the founder of the "Official Monster Raving Loony Party," where he stood as a candidate in numerous parliamentary elections. With his unique style and captivating performances, Screaming Lord Sutch left an indelible mark on the music industry.

Influenced by artists such as Hasil Adkins and Kim Fowley, Screaming Lord Sutch brought a distinct energy to his music that resonated with fans. His work can be compared to other notable performers like The Milkshakes, The Sonics, and The Meteors. Known for his dynamic stage presence and unconventional persona, Screaming Lord Sutch's contributions to rock music continue to inspire generations of musicians.

Tragically, on 16 June 1999, Screaming Lord Sutch passed away by suicide. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his influential music and political activism. Fans of alternative rock and those intrigued by eccentric personalities will find themselves captivated by the life and artistry of this iconic British musician.

Taking a break from electioneering, his Screaming Lordship, or Dave to his friends, let loose on these early 80s recordings in his own genteel style. A who's who of the UK rockin' scene from the 60s back up Sutch on this ghoulish goulash of hair raising monster rockers, like Screem, Screem, Murder In The Graveyard, Loonabilly and the inevitable Jack The Ripper. The leopardskin-clad Sutch recorded with the legendary cult producer of the 60s, Joe Meek and is the UK's most eccentric rocker, king of bad taste and horror. He regrettably never realised his ambition to be prime minister with his Monster Raving Loony Party as he took his own life in 1999 - a great eccentric that will be gravely missed.
