Music from the first five seasons of BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders will be collected in a new double album due out on November 15th.


Notably, the set marks the first-ever commercial release for PJ Harvey’s cover of NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS“Red Right Hand”.

THE BAD SEEDS’ original version has long served as the series’ theme, but in 2014 Harvey was commissioned to cover the song in an effort to make the series seem “less American.”
 
Of course, adding to the cover’s intrigue is the fact that Cave and Harvey dated in the mid-1990s. Cave recently spoke about the ending of their relationship, which he attributed to a number of factors, including his drug use and the fact that he “had a certain amount of work to do on my understanding of the concept of monogamy.”
 
The Peaky Blinders soundtrack also includes THE BAD SEEDS’ version of “Red Right Hand”, as well as original material from Anna Calvi, Jehnny Beth, and Richard Hawley. Additionally, there are songs RADIOHEAD, Jack White, David Bowie, JOY DIVISION, BLACK SABBATH, and more. 
 
THE BAD SEEDS recently released a new album called Ghosteen and announced a supporting 2020 tour.
