Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical / Various

Two CDs. 40 years on, discover the story of Live Aid in a whole new way with 'Just For One Day - The Live Aid Musical'. Now a stage musical for London's West End (for an eight month run at the Shaftesbury Theatre) and an Original Cast Recording with 30 tracks from the show. The extraordinary 'Just for One Day: The Live Aid Musical' is now also a fully realised rock album, capturing the passion, power, and urgency that made the 1985 response to the famine in Ethiopia a turning point in music history. As with the musical itself, it was created with the backing of Sir Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Harvey Goldsmith and the Band Aid Trust. More than just a collection of songs, this album is a love letter to the '80s - a time of bold anthems, raw emotion, and an unshakable belief in music's power to change the world. This is not only a reworking of these legendary tracks, it's a celebration of their lasting impact, recorded in the same spaces as many of the original iconic songs.
