Background Information
On April 24, 2021 U2’s performances at Live Aid were released broken up into singles for each artist. This included U2’s performance as a separate release, as well as this standalone single of Band Aid’s performance of “Do They Know it’s Chrismtas?” These digital releases are the same audio edits as the 2018 Live Aid in audio format in digital storefronts. The album when it was released in 2018 was initially just available in 16-bit quality, but it has been reissued at 24-bit, and this single is also available at 24-bit. One of these singles is the final singalong version of “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” which includes Bono on vocals.
This release uses the same ‘cover art’ as the album, with an added “Band Aid”.
The release is available to purchase from sites such as 7 Digital and Amazon. Qobuz does not allow the release as an item for sale, but does offer a streaming only version of the release. The release is also available through streaming services such as Deezer.
This edit is the same as the 2018 release of Live Aid.
