'Heroes'

Signed by Bono
And The Killers. And Coldplay. It's a box set of 7" vinyl cuts of the new War Child compilation 'Heroes' . And you can bid for it right now.

Everyone signed the box set after performing together at the War Child gig at London's Sheperds Bush Empire last month.

War Child is a very rock'n'roll organisation which works with children hit by a combination of war, poverty and marginalisation in the world's most dangerous war zones. And their latest benefit album, 'Heroes', is pretty special: 15 legendary acts were invited to select a song from their back catalogue and nominate a newer act who they trusted to create a unique interpretation.

The mighty Elbow, who are lined up to play some support slots on the upcoming U2 tour, perform a beautiful version of 'Running To Stand Still'.

The limited edition 7" vinyl box-set signed by Bono and company includes all 15 cover versions - and an bidding is now underway on ebay.

Oh, I skipped reading the press release you posted, so I though it was just some random cover.

Who's Elbow anyway? I've never heard of them, strange name too.
