Cut is the 1979 debut album by English punk band The Slits. It was recorded at Ridge Farm Studios in Rusper and produced by Dennis Bovell. The album was originally released on 7 September 1979 on the Island Records label in the UK and on Antilles in the US. It reached number 30 on the UK album charts at the time. In 2004 it was voted at no 58 in The Observer's list, The 100 Greatest British Albums.

Cut by The Slits introduced an atypical group at the vanguard of female-fronted punk, influencing on everyone from Massive Attack to Sleater-Kinney. Sassy and streetwise: The Slits were everything girls in a band weren’t supposed to be before punk levelled the playing field, and their debut album, Cut, continues to astound. Admittedly, the feisty London-based quartet were well-placed to surf punk’s first wave. Dreadlocked, live-wire vocalist Arianna Forster (aka Ari Up) was the daughter of Nora Forster, future wife of Sex Pistols’ vocalist Johnny Rotten, while guitarist Viv Albertine dated The Clash’s Mick Jones and hung out with Sid Vicious. The Slits, though, were no one’s appendages and were determined to make a mark on their own terms.

Consumer Guide Album. The Slits: Cut For once a white reggae style that rivals its models for weirdness and formal imagination. The choppy lyrics and playful, quavering, chantlike vocals are a tribute to reggae's inspired amateurism rather than a facsimile, and the spacey rhythms and recording techniques are exploited to solve the great problem of female rock bands, which is how to make yourself heard over all that noise. Arri Up's answer is to sing around it, which is lucky, because she'd be screeching for sure on top of the usual wall of chords

The Slits was a British punk e band, formed in London 1976, originally all female led by Arianna Forster (aka Ari Up. It has had different lineups until the group disbanded after Ari's death 2010. Bass guitar player Tessa Pollit also was a long time member. Hollie Cook – the daughter of Sex Pistols' drummer – joined the Slits 2005, and have now a successful solo carrier.

The Slits could hardly play an instrument among them at first - when they opened on the Clash's White Riot Tour, Mick Jones tuned their guitars for them - but they went on to become one of the most influential early female punk bands.

The Slits were the first – and still the best – all woman band who bent all the rules. They have been a key influence on subsequent generations of women musicians, from Courtney Love, Bjork and Riot Grrrl to today’s diary-like singers such as Lily Allen and Kate Nash. On its release in 1979, the record was regarded as a five-star triumph

Is the cover the right shade of purple or blue, as pictured? Also, can someone comment on the sound quality?
Thabel
It's just the picture. The physical copy is definitely the classic purple. I haven't listened to my copy yet so stay tuned!
