Thought this may be of interest to some of you. I think the tracks are 99p each or £9.99 for the whole album. It's not a bad little tracklist really (if we gloss over the manic street preachers anyway) and it is for a good cause. They set a new record for the fastest recorded album according to the BBC.

I have never paid for a download. I download for free then buy the CD too.

Me either, but I don't see the point of paying for any downloads, if I'm shelling out cash I want a physical thing. Call me old fashioned. |

Yeah I am gonna buy the CD too.
Not sure why anyone would want to download it.

It doesn't say anything on the website, I'm just scouring through it... hmmm no not a word. But I would imagine they would, they have a cd cover looking thing on there.
I'll email them and ask.
Actually looking through the site there is an absolute ton of downloadable tracks. They seem to do mini albums each month, but this is the only one they're making a fuss of, so they must be putting it on general release? Yet everywhere I look download-download-download. Bit daft to my mind.
[edit] bit of googling and (on the XFM site of all places) found this: 'physical' copy of the record will be released on CD on Monday September 26 through Independiente.
So there you go, yes it will! I think I'll be buying mine as a cd rather than a download. |

Are they going to do a buyable hard copy? I'm still on dial-up, it'd literally take years to download.
How's that for a slice of fried gold? |

I think I may purchase. Like you say, it's a good cause.

Phew! I thought you meant this most scary Blondie album (a stiff):

If I remember correctly Bjork has put together some excellent stuff for War Child too.
Fire made it good. |
