Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

Pink Floyd Records - 88875184291

'The Final Cut' (occasionally subtitled "A Requiem For The Post-War Dream by Roger Waters") is Pink Floyd's twelfth studio album, first released March 1983.

'The Final Cut' is Pink Floyd's last studio album to include founding member, bassist and songwriter Roger Waters, and their only album on which he alone is credited for writing and composition. It is also the only Pink Floyd album that does not feature keyboardist Richard Wright.

Waters originally planned 'The Final Cut' as a soundtrack album for the 1982 film "Pink Floyd - The Wall." With the onset of the Falklands War, he rewrote it as a concept album, exploring what he considered the betrayal of his father, who died serving in the Second World War. Most of its lyrics are sung by Waters; lead guitarist David Gilmour provides vocals on only one track. The packaging, also designed by Waters, reflects the album's war theme.

Recorded in eight British studios from July to December 1982, with an accompanying short film released in the same year, production of 'The Final Cut' was dominated by interpersonal conflict. Waters left the band in 1985 and 'The Final Cut' remains the last Pink Floyd album he worked on.
