The BBC is set to release the DVD box set of series 5 on 11th November. I’m so glad that at last we have been able to put some of the tracks together on one album, to put the atmosphere and swagger and snarl of the show into your headphones and speakers.”Ī free limited-edition Peaky Blinders poster will be included for the first 500 pre-orders on both the 2CD and 3LP across uDiscover, Sound Of Vinyl and .uk. It would be difficult to imagine most of the pivotal moments without the soundtrack. Show Creator Steven Knight was instrumental in pushing the importance of the music used in the show: “The Peaky Blinders story and the music we use are twins, born at the same time. The soundtrack album also features series 1-5 original scores created specifically for the show. The show has been particularly celebrated for its stylish cinematography and charismatic performances, enhanced by the use of contemporary music, and with the latest season’s score by the multi–Mercury Award Nominated singer songwriter Anna Calvi, the plaudits just kept coming. The 2CD also includes a 32-page book with images from the show, behind the scenes notes from Guardian journalist Phil Harrison, quotes from the cast and ‘The Chap’ magazine in conversation with Peaky Blinders’ Costume Designer, Alison McCosh. The 2CD and 3LP sets feature music and key clips of dialogue from all 5 series the show. The show is known for its dark and dramatic soundtrack, acting as a window into the mind of Tommy Shelby – a tortured ex-soldier who suffers from PTSD after fighting in the trenches during World War One. The album is completed by songs from Nick Cave himself, Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes, Royal Blood, The Last Shadow Puppets, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Laura Marling, and Foals amongst others. Also exclusively on the album are Jehnny Beth’s I’m The Man and Anna Calvi’s series 5 score, You’re Not God, along with Richard Hawley’s (Bob Dylan) Ballad of A Thin Man on CD and vinyl for the first time. Only available on this release, the track was recorded specifically for the show by PJ Harvey. The soundtrack features a previously unreleased rendition of the show’s iconic theme song, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ Red Right Hand. Alongside the atmospheric opener, all the songs featured in the show have been painstakingly chosen to reflect the feel of the programme (the violence, the grit, AND the glamour), which was inspired by a real group of gangsters in post WW1 Birmingham. It’s not just the low tones of Nick Cave’s vocals in the opening theme tune that have become synonymous with the BBC’s Birmingham-based flagship gangster drama centred around Tommy Shelby, his family and their somewhat dubious business practices. The soundtrack will be available on 2CD, 3LP and digital. On 15 November, UMC will release the first ever official soundtrack to the series (currently available on BBC’s iPlayer and on Netflix in more than 100 countries outside of the UK) that has captivated audiences across the globe. Since the fifth season of the massively popular BAFTA-winning series BBC drama wrapped up, fans are aching for their next hit of Peaky Blinders. ALSO FEATURES TRACKS BY NICK CAVE, ARCTIC MONKEYS, DAVID BOWIE, RADIOHEAD, LAURA MARLING, BLACK SABBATH, ROYAL BLOOD, FOALS AND MANY MORE EXCLUSIVE TRACKS FROM PJ HARVEY, RICHARD HAWLEY AND JEHNNY BETH. ‘ PEAKY BLINDERS’ 1ST EVER SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED!. Steve's uncanny ability to be prescient about world events is only matched by his ability to make Tommy Shelby the most indelible character of our times.“Take a little walk to the edge of town…” It doesn't sound like season 6 of Peaky Blinders is going to pull any punches either, with executive producer Caryn Mandabach telling Deadline, "This final season of our beloved Peaky Blinders is going to be the best one yet. So it's not all bad, Peaky Blinders fans. But I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. Shortly after it was announced that the long-awaited season would be the show's last, Knight told Deadline that, "Covid changed our plans. The good news? Although Peaky Blinders will be ending its TV run after six seasons, fans can still expect to see the show's characters on screen again at least one more time. Even though Peaky Blinders will be coming to an end earlier than expected, fans should be excited to hear that a silver lining has emerged amidst all the sadness and disappointment.
