There’s a four in the year so that must mean there we’re due another Band Aid record and lo it has been announced this morning that to commemorate its fortieth anniversary Do They Know It’s Christmas is being re-released once more.
However, it’s not a new version this time, but a splicing together of the original track, the Band Aid 20 effort from 2014 and the most recent version, Band Aid 30. The ‘2024 Ultimate Mix’ will be released on November 25, exactly 40 years to the day since the cream of UK pop talent (and Marilyn) gathered at Sarm West studios in Notting Hill to create a pivotal event in music history.
