The Slits! 'In the Beginning' blue vinyl 2LP is part of Record Store Day in USA too, via our friends at MVD Entertainment Group.
A much in-demand release both sides of the Atlantic.

Record Store Day 2024 Spotlight:

The Slits - In The Beginning (Blue Vinyl)

The Slits were known for their uncompromising attitude and aggressive, confrontational music, first seen on their 1977 tour with The Clash. To this day they are cited as being hugely inspiring to many female artists. But even their seminal Island Records 1979 debut album 'Cut', with its infamous sleeve of the band members naked and caked in mud, does not capture the true energy and spontaneity as well as these live recordings do.

The album spans from an early, chaotic punk-era show which includes classics such as 'Shoplifting', 'Newtown' and 'Love & Romance'. It shows how they evolved into their dubby, reggae-influenced style with songs such as 'Typical Girls', and finishes with a track from their last ever performance in 1981. Over its fifteen tracks it features three songs never otherwise recorded* and guest vocals from Nina Hagen and Neneh Cherry. The gatefold sleeve includes updated notes from Mick Mercer and previously unseen live and at home photos. Released exclusively by Jungle Records for Record Store Day 2024.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Vindictive, 2. A Boring Life*, 3. Slime*, 4. New Town, 5. Love & Romance, 6. Shoplifting, 7. Number One Enemy, 8. Number One Enemy (acoustic) (guest vocal from Nina Hagen), 9. In The Beginning, 10. New Town, 11. Man Next Door, 12. I Heard It Through The Grapevine, 13. Typical Girls, 14. Fade Away*, 15. In The Beginning (guest vocal from Neneh Cherry)

Tracks 1-7 Live at Dingwalls, London 9/77; 8 live in rehearsal; 9-14 Live in Cincinnati & San Francisco 1980; 15 Live at Hammersmith Palais, Dec. 1981 (last ever show).

Record Store Day 2024 is April 20th. Check in with your local record store and let them know you’re interested!

UK SUBS 'UK Subversives' is a * 2LP - the Fall Out Singles Collection 1983-98. Those 15 years saw many great line-ups; photos of them adorn the inside of the gatefold sleeve. Singles were often not on albums; albums didn't aways have singles; some line-ups only toured - so the band line-up pics don't correspond exactly to the singles & EPs on the vinyl. Here's a selection, showing some of the many who helped keep Charlie Harper on the road and in the studio - Charlie's Angels! Can they all be identified?! Tag them if you can.
