Children’s charity War Child will create and start selling a fundraising album within
one day to mark the 10th anniversary next month of the first War Child album, Help,
which raised almost £2 million for children in Bosnia.

The new album will be recorded on 9 September 2005 by up to 20 artists, and both
the album and individual tracks will be available for download from War Child’s 
website and from other music download sites before the end of the day.

Razorlight, The Coral, The Zutons, Manic

Street Preachers, Bloc Party, and Hard-Fi.

War Child say that the album will be the fastest ever made.
