Polydor, August 1988 Hawks soundtrack. Polydor, September 1988. Early in 1986, Barry planned to record it live, and the instrumental parts may have been done live although the vocals, all Barry, have overdubs. The sound is better than Now voyager , clear and with a good bottom end, so often lacking in Barry's projects, and many fans say the compositions are better too. Barry began working on songs for his second solo album by October 1985 and the first set of copyright filings come in March 1986.
Walls have eyes the year before.
It's possible that Maurice worked on the demos. Many of the recordings appeared in 1988 on the soundtrack of Hawks , but they appeared slightly remixed and shortened, as shown. The Hawks soundtrack was not released in the US, and the three songs from here that were included on the box set Tales from the Brothers Gibb in the rest of the world were lacking on the US version. Why this was not released is unknown. If they wanted Barry to do something different, Barry showed no sign of it while discussing the upcoming project in interviews.
