The new album, like the original, speaks to the urgency of the situation for the 1 in 5 children globally living through war today. Recorded in a single day in 1995, the original  HELP album raised over £1.2 million, enabling the charity to provide vital support to thousands of children caught in the Bosnian conflict, and was hailed as “the best charity album ever made” by critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHELP(2) carries forward the spirit of the original HELP album and was recorded (predominantly), thanks to their generosity, at Abbey Road Studios, across one special week in November 2025.
