Notes

"Special banded version for radio". Where the standard stock/retail copies have between song sound effects and continuous segues bridging music sequences, this version has song fades and silences separating all tracks for easier radio programing (though the expletives in B5, "Not Now John", are not edited out).

Labels: "DEMONSTRATION – NOT FOR SALE"
Back Cover: "DEMONSTRATION – NOT FOR SALE" (no barcode)

Gatefold cover with sticker on front:
"pink floyd the final cut special banded version for radio (lyrical content of "not now john" may be objectionable in part to some) AS 1636"

Includes insert (see image), outlining concept, recording info, details about "Holophonic Sound", and suggests the band is on firm ground after the departure of Richard Wright.

This promo pressing catalog number (AS 1635) is differerent from the stock retail version. However the stock/retail catalog number (38243) does appear on the solid black inner sleeve, lower left corner.

Notable difference in matrices between promo and stock copies:
AL/BL 38243 retail/stock copies such as The Final Cut
XSM 169261/2 this promo version

    Each song is faded in and out for radio use while the original release each song blends together much like The Wall. I would not recommend this if you want to listen to the album, this is more of a collector item. Sound quality is fantastic.
