The John Peel Session version of Instant Hit by The Slits captures their punk spirit at its finest.

Here's an excerpt of the notes (written by Tom Cox) included in the CD :

Contrary to popular belief, boys weren't the only ones who changed the world by playing punk rock in the 1970s: girls did it as well. And, in the case of the Slits, they did it as well as anyone. On record, Ari Up, Viv Albertine, Palmolive (later replaced by Budgie and then Bruce Smith) and Tessa Pollitt stuffed the gap between the rebel reggae of the Clash and the attic punk of the Raincoats with unqualified, fiercely experimental "death-disco" dub.

Live, they were the wildest of the wild, a riot of public urination and feminist insurrection. When John Peel re-aired the band's Peel Sessions- originally broadcast in the late 70s and early 80s - in the mid 90s, and called them his "favourite ever", he knew exactly which Slits persona he was championing.
