Help 2 - Various & War Child (Gatefold 2LP Vinyl) (Plus Bonus Oasis 7" Vinyl)

HELP(2) is a brand new collaborative album, inspired by the landmark 1995 release 'HELP', which brings music lovers together in support of War Child's vital work delivering immediate aid, education, specialist mental health support, and protection to children affected by conflict around the world.

HELP(2) carries forward the spirit of the original ‘HELP’ album and was brought to life through a close collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, recorded predominantly across one extraordinary week in November 2025. Under the stewardship of acclaimed producer James Ford as Executive Producer, HELP(2) features an incredible line-up of contributors including Anna Calvi, Arctic Monkeys, Arlo Parks, Arooj Aftab, Bat For Lashes, Beabadoobee, Beck, Beth Gibbons, Big Thief, Black Country, New Road, Cameron Winter, Damon Albarn, Depeche Mode, Dove Ellis, Ellie Rowsell, English Teacher, Ezra Collective, Foals, Fontaines D.C., Graham Coxon, Greentea Peng, Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest, King Krule, Nilüfer Yanya, Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Sampha, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg and Young Fathers…amongst other musicians, engineers, mixers and producers.

Oasis also feature on the album , with a very special inclusion: a stand-alone 7” single enclosed within the gatefold of the vinyl edition.

The band have generously contributed an exclusive live version of the fan favourite, ‘Acquiesce (Live from Wembley Stadium, 28 September ‘25)’. Widely regarded as one of the greatest B-sides ever released with the colossal Oasis Live ’25 tour resulting in the studio version charting for the first time. This marks the first physical release of a live recording from the Oasis’ record-breaking 2025 world tour, with the recording taken from the final night of their 7-show run at Wembley Stadium.

All proceeds from this album support War Child UK to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children living through conflict around the world. 

HELP(2) represents hope for children whose lives have been torn apart by war. It is a testament to the generosity of artists and the music industry for making a positive difference towards securing a safer, brighter future for those children. Because no child should be part of war. Ever.
