  • The Scorpions were formed in 1959 in Battersea, South West London and released two singles in 1961. Founder members were brothers Ted Barber lead guitar (1959 -); John Barber bass (1959 -) (born John Alan Barber, 30 December 1944, Battersea, South West London); Mick LeDieu (1959 -). Ivor Knight drums (born Ivor Kenneth Knight, 16 September 1941, Battersea, South West London), joined in November 1959. They were the first rock band to use the name. The Scorpions recorded two singles at "Abbey Road Studios", released on The Parlophone label. They recorded three songs with Joe Meek, Two Brothers, Summer Holliday, Love On Your lips, that would have been released as the The Ferridays (in honour of Jerry Lee Lewis' birthplace), but these only were released in the 1990s, thanks also to the on-going interest in Joe Meek recordings.
