Cut the Crap is the sixth and final studio album by the English punk band the Clash. It was recorded at Weryton Studios, Munich, and released on 4 November 1985 by Epic Records. It followed a turbulent period for the band, after the dismissal of co-founder, lead guitarist and principal songwriter Mick Jones and drummer Topper Headon, by lead vocalist Joe Strummer (pictured) and bassist Paul Simonon.
