Discography About The Record:
Pink Floyd's 1983 album could very easily have become a solo effort for Roger Waters. In fact, "The Final Cut" is subtitled "A requiem for the post war dream by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd." One doesn't have to read too far between those lines to see where the group was heading.
The band had planned on putting out an album called "Spare Bricks," composed of alternate takes and rerecordings from "The Wall" that appeared in the film "Pink Floyd The Wall." But the notion moved Waters to begin writing more material dealing with the tragedy of war, continuing the thread created in "The Wall." Thus, "The Final Cut" was born.
By this point, keyboardist Rick Wright had already been forced out of the group by Waters, who claimed he wasn't contributing to the band. During "The Final Cut" sessions Waters held David Gilmour's feet to the fire by threatening to scrap the project unless Gilmour relinquished co-producing the effort. It was the same technique Waters had used on Wright to get him to cooperate. So, in the end, Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason were relegated to little more than session players, coming in to play their bits, while Waters, the album's sole composer, co-produced it with James Guthrie and Michael Kamen, both of whom participated on "The Wall."
Recorded at eight studios in England, the album was made between June and December 1982. The Floyd's own Britannia Row was not used for "The Final Cut." Gilmour and Mason were the facilities' sole owners by this point.
