Cut is the debut album by The Slits. It was originally released on 7 September 1979 on the Island Records label (ILPS 9573) in the UK and on Antilles (AN 7077) in the US. It reached number 30 on the UK album charts at the time. In 2004 it was voted at no 58 in The Observer's list, The 100 Greatest British Albums.Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain listed the song "Typical Girls" in his top 50 favorite recordings of all time.

The album was re-released on CD in Europe in 1990 and in 2000 within the Island Master series (IMCD 90 and IMCD 275). In 2004 Koch Records licensed the master to Cut from Island Def Jam (who still held the rights to the album) and reissued the album on CD for the first time ever in the United States; previously, the album had been only available to Stateside fans on CD as an English import, since the album's original American release (on the Island subsidiary Antilles, during Island's association with Warner Bros. Records) had long since gone out of print.

All tracks written by Viv Albertine, Tessa Pollitt, Ariane Forster (aka Ari Up) and Paloma Romero (aka Palmolive)
