The Slits

[irons1965]

Just a note to say that the 30th anniversary version of the seminal "Cut" came out today with Peel sessions and tons of rough mixes on the second disc....Anybody bought it....and if you haven't, why not???

 

[Martin D]

Takes me back "typical girls" wasn't it?

 

[Tony L]

A great album. I've got a really nice UK 1st pressing so I can't justify buying the CD, but it would be interesting to hear what they've added to it.

Remember that notorious episode of the Word.

Hi
muzzer please tell me more, I can remember a poster of them covered in mud and not much more exclaiming "happiness is a muddy slit".

They performed knickerless, the Slits were on show literally.

Good heavens, an internet search is called for, or maybe interpol.

Wasn't that L7?

(Warning: end of this is not work safe)

One of the best covers of all time is 'Heard it through the grapevine' by the Slits.

There was a lot of uproar at the time from the usual sources, there was plenty of upskirt shots from the cameraman.

 

[muzzer]

Damn, you are right, my memory is fading

Tell you what, you should hear the demo version that opens disc 2- Worth the price of admission on its own!

Me too as well as the first CD version Tony- Definitely worth getting for the second disc as well as the great packaging/ booklet- Sound is good throughout and serves the music well

Damn, going to have to get it now.

I too have the original LP and 'Heard it On the grapevine' on a punk covers comp.

Hi fox
Would the punk covers comp. be "We do 'em our way"?, if so, I can remember a cracking version of Friday on my mind by the Golont pistons on the album as well.

It would. Other gems I first discovered on there were 'You really got me' by the Hammersmith Gorillas and 'Money' by the Flying Lizards.
