The Slits – Cut

I haven't heard an original but this mastering is ok - has bass, clear vocals and guitar. However, overall the instruments sound a bit restrained and a bit flat.

Just bought this and it’s warped to the point that it’s not playable thanks to the ultra tight inner sleeve.

The album cover is great. Who cares about anything else?

Nothing physical to compare to, but it's better than fricking streaming! The sound of that snare drum is killer. I am confident this pressing is true to the original recording. It sounds pared down in the manner of many a 70s punk album, not overly bassy but that's how it was recorded. It has more than enough mid range oomph.

Let's get some audio quality reviews on this release! Also how many released.

I have this record with silhouttes on label B (side two) only, not on side 1. Anybody know about this version? Anyhow, sounds like a dream - awesome album.

Richard is not kidding, recently replaced my 4MWB reissue with this copy, and it sounds SO GOOD. Its so well mixed and mastered its almost like listening to a different album and this is one of my faves, a Top 5 record for me for sure so I've heard it hundreds of times. You will absolutely notice things that you haven't before. If you're thinking about investing in an original I can't recommend this one enough.

This pressing sounds INSANE! There is no comparison between this and the 2019 release. I thought that one sounded pretty good--and it does--but once you hear this pressing, forget about it. There's a tremendous amount of ENERGY here that's greatly diminished elsewhere, particularly the CDs. The guitar sound really scratchy. The low end is large and in charge.

This is an honest-to-god audiophile level pressing.

It's not as bad as some 4MWBs. It's got decent bottom end, but as mentioned previously, some harsh trebly sibilance. Makes any song with repeated open high hats -like Spend, Spend, Spend- rough listening. Probably digital sourcing. But it's otherwise clear and loud. If you see it used for 20 or so, do it.

Cheeky original catchy-weird reggae influenced post-punk/alt-rock fronted by female German-accented acerbic vocals over short melodic sassy-as-fuck dub-fused punkified songs. Throw in the provocative album cover photo & you have a band that’s the definition of girl power in the late '70s.
Exuberant & uncompromising fun.
