Crucial Vinyl - The Slits

The Don selects the Slits' 1979 debut album Cut as his Crucial Vinyl, an album that has shaped his musical taste.

Each week Don selects a piece of Crucial Vinyl (an album that has shaped his musical taste and helped make him who he is). He features three tracks from it and explains why it means so much to him. This week he picks Cut, the 1979 release by the Slits.

Don says, "The debut album from last of the first wave UK punk rockers to get signed up. Sonically, this was really the first 'post punk' record. It mixed reggae bass lines with avant-garde jazz and a dash of old school punk rock. It wasn't bound by the musical cliches that defined so many of the other bands of the time, and consequently, to this very day, it has its own distinct sound and identity.".
