The Final Cut Reviews:
The only new song is "When The Tigers Broke Free" 
2004-09-15 - From what I can understand, the difference is the addition of the song "When The Tigers Broke Free" that was used in "The Wall" film. This song is about the death of Roger Waters father in WWII. It's suppose to be different from the version from "Echoes."
From the "Brain Damage" website: "The reason of this reprint is because the album is now on the EMI label worldwide. Until now, Sony Music owned the rights for North America, Japan, etc... and EMI wanted a new version to celebrate the return to its catalogue. The main change, in this version, is represented by the addition of "When The Tigers Broke Free". As you know, Tigers was recorded for The Wall film. It was originally destined for The Final Cut album, but at the end it was discharged, it was too much linked to Roger.
EMI suggested inserting this song on the reprint of TFC, and both Roger and the band approved it. A copy of the album was done, placing "Tigers" into the sequence in four different points to find the best place. Finally the copy was sent to Roger and he decided. We then did a new mix of the song, starting from 16-track tapes of the film soundtrack (a different mix from the "Echoes" one) and we inserted it into the sequence using a cross-fading effect. The other mixes are the originals.
We mastered all starting from original analogue tapes, using a special machine built by Tim de Paravicini. It used a valve EQ (by Tim too), linked to a "Gold Series" A/D converter from Dan Lavry Engineering. The album was compiled in SADiE. This version of The Final Cut has the best sound it ever has had on CD..."

This is my favorite PF album. I loved the way Roger sang on it. I will buy this version when I get some money. I hope this helps.
Replica LP format?? 
2004-09-08 - Good album. I like it better than R.Water's next solo project, but it is not as memorable as some of the early Floyd albums. The imagery of the lyrics is good, and invokes several of the themes from The Wall.
I'm curious if this particular Import is in the replica LP format or not. Can someone please confirm. thanks.
