Various - War Child Heroes (The Originals) (@256)

Today I'll urge you to buy a compilation released recently by the War Child International foundation. As they explain in their webpage: "War Child International is a network of independent organisations, working across the world to help children affected by war.
War Child was founded upon a fundamental goal: to advance the cause of peace through investing hope in the lives of children caught up in the horrors of war. War Child works in many different conflict areas around the world, helping hundreds of thousands of children every year."








War Child Heroes is their latest in the series of very interesting cds they have released; check their older Help from 1995 (which includes a unique collaboration between Paul McCartney, Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher under the name Smokin' Mojo Filters) and Help!: A Day in the Life from 2005. War Child Heroes is equally (if not more) interesting since artists such as Beck, Scissor Sisters, Lily Allen, Duffy, Elbow, TV on the Radio, Hot Chip, Kooks, Estelle, Rufus Wainwright, Peaches, Hold Steady, the Like, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Franz Ferdinand cover songs Bob Dylan, Roxy Music, Clash, Paul McCartney, U2, David Bowie, Joy Division, Kinks, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Iggy and the Stooges, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Ramones and Blondie respectively. Since most of the covers are well above the average and since part of the proceeds are spent for a good reason, it is easily understood that this cd is very good way to spend your money. So, in order to give you an appetite, I've uploaded the originals.
