#260 The Slits, 'Cut' (1979)

Knowing of The Slits’ reputation, I did not expect this album to sound like this. Cutting their teeth with The Clash on tours in 1977 and 1978, I imagined their sound to be more hardcore. The album is raw with production kept to a minimum; sounds as if it was recorded in someone’s garage. But that’s the charm of this record. No bells and whistles, just a straight up fun punk record.
