I've always had a soft spot for charity records; most of them are awful, but there's a definite joy to picking over the list of people who turned up, if not always in the same studio at least on the same slab of plastic or collection of ones and zeros. But this is an atrocity. It's not so much that all of the middle of the road, not even your parents like them, musical artists are collected together up front. Or a young Will Smith turning up in the middle to add some 'urban'-edge (in much the same way as Dizzee Rascal for Band Aid 20). It's that so many otherwise well respected actors have also been roped in. On first watching I literally shouted out "Not you too Pfieffer! Streep? Not you too Streep."
