The earlier reported ‘Help’ anniversary album will be executive-produced by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, one of the music industry’s most highly respected record producer-engineers, Xfm reports.
More artists have been added to the project. Radiohead are joined by Belle & Sebastian, Bloc Party, The Coral, Damien Rice, Elbow, The Go! Team, Gorillaz, Hard-Fi, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, The Magic Numbers, Manic Street Preachers, Maximo Park, Mylo, Razorlight and The Zutons.
The record will be released through London label Independiente, chaired by Andy Macdonald. Macdonald was in charge of Go! Discs, the label that put out the original ‘Help’ album in 1995.
The album will once again raise funds to help children in war-torn regions including Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and The Democratic Republic of The Congo. It will be available from the War Child website and other sites from September 9. A CD release will follow in the weeks to follow.
Like the original album, the charity aims to record and get the album to shop shelves as quickly as possible setting themselves the challenge of breaking their own 1995 record and releasing the fastest album ever.
