Album marks 25th anniversar­y

- By RUSSELL JACKSON

War Child is set to re-release its charity album featuring Blur, Oasis, Sir Paul Mccartney and Massive Attack to mark its 25th anniversar­y.

The charity, which works to protect children in conflict zones, said it will make the album available on streaming platforms for the first time and also sell limited edition vinyls.

Help was recorded on a single day in September 1995 across multiple studios and released less than a week later, raising more than £1.25 million.

It also features The Charlatans, The Chemical Brothers, Sinead O’connor, The Stone Roses and Suede.

The album will be rereleased on 9 September.
