thanks for the link, pascale

that's, i think, the best synopsis of the slits career ever written

there is a follow up piece on
http://www.trakmarx.com/2004_05/21_slits.htm

ari did mention to me the possibilty of the reunion earlier in
the year, saying tessa could be persuaded, but it's a bit of a stretch
as she hasn't played in some time, and viv not interested..
so i guess they've given up on the idea 

i remember christine managing the band in the y records period -
nice straightforward girl - and i guess we can thank her for the
current torrent of re-issues

i kind of remember them going off to paris to do the shows
but had completely forgotten the mclaren connection

it's probable, as the piece indicates, that virtually nobody has ever 
heard the stuff beyond those involved
