"Band Aid 20 Do They Know It's Christmas 2004 remake of the landmark 1984 single organised by Bob Geldof for African famine relief. Artists include Paul McCartney, Chris Martin, Bono, Dido, Keane, Travis, Snow Patrol & others. Also includes the original 1984 version. "
I sure did like the original version -- Boy George, Paul Young and all -- released way back at my tender age of 19. But I suppose that, if indeed all proceeds received from this new version likewise go to African famine relief, then more power to them. And Bono makes an encore performance -- does he get the same lyric to sing? You can get this cd via various online stores, www.sirendisc.com is one of them. I wonder if they replace them old timeless synthesizers underlying the crescendo, "feed the world ... don't they know it's christmastime?" Here is a link for a noble, annual fundraising effort conducted by The Independent toward famine relief and support in similarly situated parts of the world: http://news.independent.co.uk/world/africa/story.jsp?story=588490
