~ condition ~


a factory sealed copy

this lp is assumed to be in mint condition
but has not been opened & is being sold "as-is"
because we are unwilling to open it & ruin its value
as a factory sealed lp - but all of our records come
from reliable sources and we have no reason
to believe it has been tampered with


~ additional info ~


Harry Belafonte called manager Ken Kragen about a
fundraising idea for Africa. Kragen suggested a multi-artistic
event akin to Bob Geldof's Band-Aid and the resulting single
"Do They Know It's Christmas." Kragen contacted Lionel Richie
Quincy Jones & Michael Jackson about the idea. Kragen booked
time at A&M Recording Studios on January 28, 1985, the night
of the American Music Awards to ensure the artist would be available
with Richie and Jackson collaborating on the song that would become
"We Are the World" and Jones sent out instrumental versions of the
song along with a note that emphasized "check your egos at the door"
and the song is a real who's who of '80s pop that sold 800,000 copies
in a weekend and there was even a day when the record was played
simultaneously on radio and TV across the country. Produced by
Quincy Jones and issued under the name USA for Africa the song sold
over four million copies, hit the top of the charts, won Grammys and
generated over 50 million dollars to aid starving people in Africa
