The Final Blow is a compilation album by Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns. The album first released on the P-Vine record label in 1994, then on the Sequel label in the United Kingdom, and the AEM label in the United States. The album is made up of unreleased tracks recorded during band's heyday in the late 1970s.
Several tracks from The Final Blow were previously released on other George Clinton produced projects. "Oh I Don't Think Sew" was featured on the 1981 Funkadelic album The Electric Spanking of War Babies under the title Oh I and then was later released with a full horn section on the Parliament compilation "The 12" Collection & More with a full horn section supplied by Fred Wesley and The Horny Horns, and Lickity Split first appeared on the George Clinton archival album Plush Funk.
