Return of the Giant Slits is the second studio album by English punk band the Slits, released in 1981[4] by CBS Records on LP and cassette.[5] In comparison with its widely acclaimed predecessor, Cut, released in 1979, it showcases a rhythmic, more experimental sound, inspired by afro-pop.[1] The Slits would disband for the first time months after its release in early 1982.
The album was out of print for more than two decades until being reissued on CD by CBS Japan in 2004 and then by Blast First in 2007 with a bonus disc featuring alternate versions of songs from the album.
