Admittedly, the feisty London-based quartet was well-placed to surf punk’s first wave. Future \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Siouxsie+%26amp%3B+The+Banshees\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSiouxsie \u0026amp; The Banshees\u003c\/a\u003e drummer Budgie was drafted in to man the traps for the sessions, which were overseen by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Dennis+Bovell\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDennis 'Blackbeard' Bovell\u003c\/a\u003e, the Barbados-born producer arguably best known for his work with dub reggae poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. Released in September 1979, Cut gained instant notoriety due to its controversial cover image. However, the music contained within was every bit as striking. Enhanced by Budgie’s crisp, inventive drumming, the girls’ natural quirkiness came careening to the fore on scratchy but exuberant pop-punk tracks including 'So Tough' and the irreverent, anti-consumerist 'Shoplifting,' but the album’s spacy surroundings also owed a debt of gratitude to Bovell’s deft studio techniques, with his Channel One-esque subterranean dub wizardry gracing highlights such as 'Adventures Close To Home' and the brilliant football- and TV-dissing 'Newtown.' The album yielded a minor hit single when its most infectious track, 'Typical Girls,' was released as a spin-off 45, backed with a stripped-down but highly effective cover of Motown staple 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine.' Cut also broached the UK Top 40 and has since been enthusiastically championed by trailblazing musicians ranging from trip-hop futurists Massive Attack to feminist punks Sleater-Kinney. It remains The Slits’ artistic pinnacle.\" - Island\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eorange colored vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUK import pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Island 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Slits","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":57431517266251,"sku":"lp-15530","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/slits-cut-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1779697014","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/the-slits-cut-import-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
