Debuting with their 1977 tour with The Clash, The Slits were known for their uncompromising attitude and aggressive and confrontational music; to this day they are cited as being hugely inspiring to many female artists. But their seminal Island Records 1979 debut album "Cut", with its infamous sleeve featuring the band members naked and caked in mud, does not capture the true energy and spontaneity as well as these live recordings do. The album spans from an early, chaotic punk-era show which includes their classics such as "Shoplifting", "New Town" and "Love & Romance", shows how they evolved into their dubby, reggae-influenced style with songs such as "Typical Girls", and finishes with a track from their last ever performance in 1981. The groundbreaking female punk band. Raw punk songs from 1977 plus live tracks from the early "80"s. Feat. Nina Hagen & Neneh Cherry.
