On one single day in September 1995, 20 of the UK’s finest bands and artists went into studios across Europe to each produce a track for ‘Help’, the fastest-ever number one album in British music history.
That album, recorded for the War Child charity, raised more than £1.25 million to help children caught in the obscenities of the Bosnian war. Appropriately, Radiohead ““ whose song ‘Lucky’ became the signature tune of ‘Help’ ““ were the first band to confirm their involvement with ‘Help: A Day In The Life’.
The 10th anniversary of that extraordinary event will be marked by ‘Help: A Day in the Life’ on Friday, 9 September 2005. On that one single day we are asking today’s artists to each record a new track, and to make history as part of the world’s fastest-ever online download album.
