Single release by UK art punk band The Slits with a composition from the album Return of the Giant Slits released one year later. The song is actually one long compositions titled "Animal Space / Animal Spacier" but here split in two halves to fit the seven inch format. The band started out and was announced as a 'girl band only', which they were in the early formations from 1976-78 until Budgie (aka Peter Edward Clarke) replaced founding member Palmolive (aka Paloma Romero) on drums. Here the band consists of lead vocalist Ari Up (aka Ariane Daniela Forster), guitarist Viv Albertine, bassist Tessa Politt, and with new drummer Bruce Smith who replaced Budgie on drums and percussion in late '79 / early '80 as Budgie had become official member of Siouxsie and the Banshees.
