Thanks for the news and link johnnymain. I'd probably not have heard about this otherwise.

Will be interesting to hear the 'Christmas Eve' version of Nanana Not sure about Rain. I'm not keen on anybody playing that song, whether it be Quo or a tribute. The idea of a charity single to remember Rick is a great one though.

I've pre-ordered the vinyl and the download. I'm not bothered what they sound like

Got the download this morning. The version of Rain is excellent. I haven't listened to the other track yet with C J Wildheart. But I will do.

I went to see the Wildhearts Acoustic Show last night and the Vinyl was on sale at the Merch. stall and CJ Was signing copies.
The guy on the stall said it hadn't sold many copies down South but had sold loads Up North.
I didn't buy it but will get the download.

Nice idea, in this fast living business where it's usually 5mins. in the news and then forgotten.
