Reviews

recrecshop May 15, 2016
Besides SLITS "Return Of The Giant Slits" (Oct 1981) and first LILIPUT (Spring 1982) is "Odyshape" (June 1981) one of the most innovate and beautiful female albums of that time. One correction for the line-up: "Georgie Boris" on trach A4 is no other then GEORGIE BORN (today Georgina Born)
