The Final Cut

The Final Cut is a rock album by Pink Floyd recorded at several studios in the UK from July to December 1982. It is the final Pink Floyd studio album to feature Roger Waters. None of the songs have ever been performed live by the band, though some have been performed live by Waters during solo tours. The album is dominantly Roger Waters (similar to The Wall, but even more so). Waters' dominance on the album is most clearly seen on the back cover, which reads "The Final Cut: A Requiem for the Post-War Dream - by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd".
Originally scheduled as the film soundtrack for the band's movie The Wall, it evolved into a new anti-war concept album. The Final Cut is also the only Pink Floyd album on which Richard Wright does not appear, as he was fired during the recording of The Wall. It has only one David Gilmour lead vocal (on "Not Now John"), and only features David Gilmour's distinctive guitar work on several of the songs, with Waters himself playing some of the guitar parts. The overall sound is much like a Roger Waters solo album, but the mood of every song is very dark. Waters offered to release it as a solo effort, but Gilmour requested it to be a Pink Floyd record due to the pressure of the recording company wanting a Pink Floyd album and not a Roger Waters album. However, in his book Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd, Nick Mason claims that Roger never offered to release it as his solo record. Waters dominated the recording sessions, furthering the tension that already existed between him, Gilmour, and Nick Mason, and even employed renowned session drummer Andy Newmark on "Two Suns in the Sunset." In 1985, Waters left the band. Gilmour and Mason (along with Wright as a session player) later put out A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987 and continued to tour and record as a threesome.
The Final Cut was also the only Pink Floyd album not to have a concert tour in support of the album as the band unofficially split up in January of 1983 as Roger Waters dove head first into the recording of The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and David Gilmour recorded his solo album About Face.
"Not Now John" was released as a single with "fuck all that" from the choruses overdubbed as "stuff all that" (the lyrics on the sleeve of the 7" single contain that phrase "stop all that"), backed by an extended version of "The Hero's Return" as a B-side, featuring an additional verse..PEACE… I hope you enjoy the music.
