WAR CHILD – Various Artists

 LIMITED EDITION

Remastered Audio at Metropolis on 2x Black 180g

Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Printed Inner Sleeve.

Twenty-five years ago this month, the cream of the

British music industry walked into Abbey Road and

studios around the UK and recorded an album for

War Child in response to the plight of the thousands

of families caught up in the bloody Balkans war.

It went onto become the most legendary charity

album of all time. Inspired by a John Lennon quote

"The best record you can make, is recorded on

Monday, cut on Tuesday, pressed up on

Wednesday, packaged on Thursday, distributed on

Friday, in the shops on Saturday”, Paul McCartney,

Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller formed the super group

Smokin’ Mojo Filters and Radiohead, Manic Street

Preachers, Portishead, Massive Attack, Suede, The

Charlatans and many more contributed tracks.

Go! Discs’ Tony Crean and Andy McDonald, press

officer Terri Hall and others rallied artists, media and

the industry to come together in those few days.

Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic wrote the sleeve

notes, John Squire designed the artwork and

Johnny Depp even popped in to play guitar.

Within 24 hours, 20 tracks had been recorded and it

was in store five days later selling 70,000 copies in

its first day. The album went on to make £1.25

million and launched War Child not only as the

charity for British music, but more importantly, the

only charity who specialise in protecting, educating

and supporting children in war.

The difference this album made for War Child

cannot be over emphasised. It was the starting point

of a relationship with the British music industry that

has seen some of the world’s biggest artists come

together - but more importantly, it has enabled War

Child to reach more than a million children caught in

the crossfire of war over the last 20 years.

 You only need look at the news today to see that War Child’s work is

 more important than ever. Four million Syrian refugees have fled the

 conflict, two million of these are children, some of whom are alone,

 all of whom are terrified and traumatised by what they have seen.
