Damn, got my hopes up for one brief moment in hoping the Gorillaz were submitting a Screamin' Jay Hawkins cover. Guess we just can't be that lucky. Still, it's a stellar line up. I'll definitely be picking this up in the weeks to come.

Worth it alone for the "Beatles Album" : "Beatles Song" album title.

unfortunately this is pretty terrible, just a collection of some crappy, boring d-sides. a shame since it is for a good cause

I listened to the clips, and it sounds pretty solid to me. I'm really into Hard-Fi riht now, and their contribution on the CD sounds like a song I want to own. Also, The Zutons can do no wrong in my book. I'll definitely pick up a copy of this when it's released.
