Jack & The Rippers
I Think It's Over
Finally available again: the complete compilation of studio recordings of the Swiss punk pioneers JACK & THE RIPPERS as
an LP with printed insert on DIRTY FACES. Also in Switzerland at the end of the 70s, a small but fine scene quickly
operated under the label "Swiss Punk". JACK & THE RIPPERS were founded in Geneva as early as 1977, which together with
genre colleagues such as KLEENEX, BASTARDS, TNT or MOTHER'S RUIN belonged to the spearhead of the federal punk revolt.
After only a few concerts, the band was history again eight months later, but had already recorded the ten songs
summarized here in studio quality, of which "No Desire" and "Feel Like A Tram" appeared posthumously as 7" vinyl in
1979. Since the majority of rippers musicians were already busy getting together in the newly founded band THE ZERO
HEROES, the old recordings remained in oblivion for a long time - until 2005 this retrospective was first released as a
CD and LP on DIRTY FACES. The ten songs, which are all original compositions in addition to the LENNON number "Cold
Turkey" and "Automobile" by The RINGS, are true gems between 77 punk rock, mod pop pop and 60's Garage. Now they have
finally been pressed again - in cooperation with the US label PUKE N VOMIT.
