Slits/Italy 1980

A new excavation item has been released, a complete live performance held in Milan, Italy on April 27, 1980, about seven months after the release of the shocking debut album “Cut” that fused punk and dub, recorded in mono audience recording! Although there is some audience chat noise, it is recorded with a well-balanced sound with a comfortable bass sound. The set list is rich with songs from “Cut” as the coupling number of the single, Marvin Gaye’s cover “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”, “In the Beginning, There Was Rhyth” from the split single with Pop Group released just the month before, and three songs from the second album “Return Of The Giant Slits” before the release. It is also a valuable sound source as a live document of the cutting-edge dub punk / post-punk of the time! 01.Adventures Close To Home 02.Instant Hit 03.Walk About 04.Spend Spend 05.New Town 06.Or What It Is 07.Man Next Door 08.I Heard It Through The Grapevine 09.Animal Space 10.In the Beginning, There Was Rhythm 11.In the Beginning, There Was Rhythm [continued] 12.Typical Girls
