The Slits were a UK feminist punk outfit formed in 1976. The original lineup included Ari-Up on vocals, Katherine Corris on guitar, Paloma Romero on drums (later of The Raincoats), and Suzi Webb on bass. They gained attention for their aggressive and confrontational music, captured in their first two John Peel sessions. Despite their talent, they struggled to secure a record contract during the initial wave of punk. Eventually signed to Island Records, they released the dub-influenced album "Cut," which featured a controversial nude cover.

Over the years, the band experienced several lineup changes and collaborations with musicians like Prince Hammer and Don Cherry. However, by 1981, The Slits had lost some of their original edge and disbanded at the end of that year. In the new millennium, Ari-Up revived The Slits for a series of intimate live performances.

Discover the influential sounds of this pioneering feminist punk group through their iconic recordings and experience firsthand how they challenged conventions within the music industry.

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.

CD - This reissue also includes two bonus tracks - a cover of I Heard it Through the Grapevine and an alternate version of Love und Romance, entitled Liebe and Romanze.

LP - 180 Gram Black Vinyl. Vinyl includes I Heard it Through the Grapevine.
