VA - HEAR 'N AID LP 86 w BAND AID - U.S.A. For Africa (We Are The World) EP 84 w Save The Children 2LP 73 w The C.A.R.E. Session EP 85


 Growing up with MTV you will recognize all of these compilations but the one I am adding today, I had missed called HEAR 'N AID didn't quite make the USA for Africa release so they made their own.  Per Discogs:  On May 20 and 21, 1985, 40 artists from the hard rock music community gathered at A&M Records Studios to participate in the making of a record called "Stars" as part of a very special project known as Hear'N Aid. The "Stars" single, coupled with the album, a video documentary on the making of the record, and other ancillary products will release money for famine relief efforts in Africa and around the world.

40 artists and hundreds of volunteers donated their time and talent over four months to make Hear'N Aid a reality. "Stars" is a plea for unity in the fight against world hunger.

Features:  rare Jimi Hendrix version of hit tune, Accept, Motorhead (!!!!), Rush, Dio, Y&T, Scorpions, Kiss and USA for Africa has songs by:  Steve Perry, The Pointer Sisters, Bruce Springsteen & The E. St. Band, Northern Lights (Canadian All-Stars), Prince & The Revolution, Chicago, Tina Turner, Kenny Rogers and Huey Lewis & The News.  For Save The Children we have:  Jackie Verdell & The Push Expo Choir, Rev. Jessie Jackson, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Nancy Wilson, Ramsey Lewis Trio, Jerry Butler & Brenda Lee, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Roberta Flack w Quincy Jones, Sammy Davis, Jr., Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, The Temptations, The Main Ingredient, The O-Jays, Zulema, Cannonball Adderley Quintet, Rev. James Cleveland & The Push Expo Choir.  The other comp's have too many to list here so check out discogs:
