THE SLITS “Cut” LP

Label:Arista                                            Punk/Dub/New Wave

The Slits were one of the first punk bands – and one of the last to make a record. On its release in 1979, the record was regarded as a five-star triumph. The pioneering mix of the band’s punk roots and legendary reggae producer Dennis Bovell created an extraordinary masterpiece that ranked alongside other 1979 ground-breaking post-punk classics such as Pil’s Metal Box, Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division and the Pop Group’s Y albums. Fourty years on, Cut is still a landmark album and one that sounds as essential as the day it was released.
