As
the punk rock scene exploded in the 70’s, The Slits, along with artists
like The Clash and The Sex Pistols helped to define its sound. Oddly The
Slits, one of the first all female punk bands, moved on to relative obscurity
while others in the punk movement went on to fame. Now after having been
strangely overlooked for CD release The Slits seminal masterpiece Cut has
finally been released. The innovative group was ahead of their time in
their use of World beats and dub reggae. Included as bonus cut are the
UK singles “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” and “Liebe and Romanze” For
