In fact, forget charity records all together. This one was going to make Band Aid look like the tea party it really was.
Of course, no one was too sure who was going to turn up for the making of this historic slice of vinyl but the air was alive with rumours. Frankie. Culture Club. Wham! Oh. the list was endless
