MORE INFO:

When Peter Gabriel saw a rough cut of Birdy, he was compelled to record the soundtrack. “I knew I had to do it. It haunted me,” he said of the 1984 movie, based on William Wharton’s 1978 novel of the same name and directed by Alan Parker (Pink Floyd: The Wall, The Commitments, Midnight Express).

Connecting deeply with the tale of two friends, Birdy (Matthew Mondine) and Alfonso “Al” Columbato (Nicolas Cage), and the traumas experienced as soldiers in the Vietnam War, Gabriel created a moving soundtrack that reflected what he saw as the film’s themes: “The struggle of the spirit… the interplay between the traumatised Birdy, the wounded victim, and his best friend.”

Featuring evocative cues such as Dressing The Wound and Birdy’s Flight, the resulting 12-track soundtrack album was Hailed by Trouser Press as “a major challenge met admirably with style and character”, with Uncut noting that it “would lay the groundwork for So”. It still stands as a compelling work from an artist reaching new heights.

Strictly limited to 130 copies, Birdy: The Bespoke Edition finally pairs the film and album together in a handsomely crafted collectors’ box set featuring replica memorabilia, originals of which have only soared in value in recent years.
