Magic Marmalade 1st Dec 2023		Review In the groove, with The Slits! (Sorry about that) I don't on the whole, buy into the whole "punk" thing, in that it seems more than half is awful ear- horror, and the rest, sound musicians posing as being worse than they actually are: Punk= mostly Bulls*&t. Fortunately, these are of the later variety... ...Actually great musicians greatly performing well constructed, even musical songs. I did wonder what a "Punk" band was doing on Island records of this time, when I found this, and it turns out they do a very fine line in the reggae end of the P$%k spectrum. ...And very well they do it too! Going by my presumptions based on the cover and band name, I was expecting an unmusical, caterwaul of "attitude" and grim-ness... but thankfully not. This is, instead, a more lo-fi, up-front, noodly, intricate affair of very innovative and inventive music. The real star if the show here is the rhythm(s) and in particular, the truly stellar drumming that underpins the whole thing. This is actually further emphasised by the lack of production (Studio effects) in the recording, as other than a guitar pedal, distortion or two, it's absolutely bare recording, to showcase how good these players are. The vinyl, of course, is reliably good, as you'd expect from Island, but the music too is a very pleasant surprise! ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Paul Vinyl 6th Nov 2023		Yes I did see that Johnz? or what ever it says on my copy



Magic Marmalade 6th Nov 2023		Yes, my matrices are identical, without silhouettes on labels. One other thing scratched into deadwax, which is too small to read: "Johnz" or something like that.



Paul Vinyl 5th Nov 2023		I know I bought mine fairly close to the release date with the inner sleeves shown, and my labels came without the silhouette. Here's the Matrix on mine A Side ILPS 9573 A-1U DREAD AT THE CONTOL B Side ILPS 9573 B-1U AH IT DAT



Magic Marmalade 5th Nov 2023		Sadly not... Just a thick black, cardboard inner with die cut label holes and round corners. (I wonder if this might have replaced early inners?) Do we have any idea if the silhouette labels are first or second? (I will check matrix numbers tomorrow)



Paul Vinyl 5th Nov 2023		Nice find Magic, did it come with Inner Sleeve?



Magic Marmalade 4th Nov 2023		Found in a charity shop yesterday for £1! (needs a clean up, but mostly good :)



Redpunk 5th Dec 2020		Added label scans with silhouettes of The Slits.
