Description
Ultra Rare Genuine 1979 Island Records Framed Promo Poster for the Slits Debut album release "Cut" Excellent opportunity to aquire this almost impossible to find piece of Punk Rock history - as these folded posters only came with the first 1000 copies of the album. Also Benefits from having been professionally framed. Size of poster is 750mm x 500mm.
As Toby Mott, the punk collector and compiler of “Oh So Pretty Punk In Print 1976-80” a collection of punk graphics, explains, the cover image for The Slits’ debut album, Cut (shot by the British rock photographer Pennie Smith) was shocking 37 years ago. It depicted the band’s singer guitarist and bassist Ari Up, Viv Albertine and Tessa Pollitt, topless and covered in mud.
However, the fold out poster given away with the first 1,000 copies of the record was nothing like as distracting as the full-sized billboard version – also in Mott’s collection – which, as he explains in this (Video Link Below), apparently led to a car crash on London’s Euston Rd. Watch the video to find out more.
