First Blood... Last Cuts is the first compilation album by the American heavy metal band W.A.S.P.. Released in 1993, it was the first time the song, "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)", previously only released as a single in 1984, was released on an album. The album also included two new songs, "Sunset and Babylon" and "Rock and Roll to Death". "Rock and Roll to Death" was later released on Still Not Black Enough, with "Sunset and Babylon" remaining exclusive to this CD, while others songs were re-mixed for the album.

The compilation is the result of Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. leaving Capitol Records and was released as a contractual obligation with Capitol/EMI. According to Blackie Lawless, "Capitol had gotten to the point that they were no longer going to be the label that supported this kind of music."^[2]
