Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on blue, black & white marble coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. "Return of the Giant Slits" is the second studio album by the English punk band The Slits, released in October 1981 by CBS Records. This album marked a departure from their earlier punk sound, embracing a more experimental approach influenced by afro-pop, dub, and world music. The album was produced by Dennis Bovell, Dick O'Dell and The Slits. Upon it's release, "Return of the Giant Slits" received mixed reviews, with some listeners finding it's experimental nature challenging. However, over time, it has been re-evaluated and appreciated for it's innovative fusion of genres. -Pitchfork described it as "a slippery, glorious mess that will infuriate anyone expecting the Slits to revisit their debut."
