Cut the Crap is the sixth and final studio album by the English punk rock band the Clash, released on 4 November 1985 on Epic Records. It was recorded after both guitarist Mick Jones (in 1983) and drummer Topper Headon (in 1982) had been dismissed from the band, and their manager Bernard Rhodes took control. The album is considered their weakest, and was widely ridiculed on release.
Rhodes recruited the unknown musicians Nick Sheppard, Pete Howard and Vince White to substitute Jones and Headon; The Clash split up soon after. Clash vocalist Joe Strummer has said that "Cut the Crap" contains one of the band's strongest singles, "This Is England". Critics tend to also regard "We Are the Clash", but generally view the album as incohesive.
