Second Tibetan Freedom Concert Release Source: Mr Michael P Histen Date of issue: 05-07-1997

This is straight out of Billboard On-line and is apparently about a different album than the live recordings from the Tibetan Freedom Concerts due out in the fall...

Top U.K. Acts Team For Tibet Album

EMI Records U.K. plans the July 14 release of "Long Live Tibet," a compilation that aims to raise awareness of the culture of the Himalayan kingdom and generate funds for Tibetan refugees around the world. Billboard Bulletin reports that the set includes a new song, "Planet Of Dreams," specially written and recorded by David Bowie and his bassist Gail Ann Dorsey, plus new material by Echobelly and Terrorvision; live cuts by Blur, Pulp, and Ocean Colour Scene with Paul Weller; and rare or new cuts by Bj÷rk, Supergrass, and others. Artist royalties from the album-which is not connected to the recent Tibet Freedom Concert in New York-will go to the Tibet House Trust, a registered charity recognised by Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.

I'm wondering what exactly "rare or new mixes of cuts by Bj÷rk" means. Maybe the RH Factor mixes of I Miss You? The upcoming Gus Gus remix of Possibly Maybe? Or maybe it will give us a track from Homogenous... In any case, this is different news than has been reported be for and I though it would definitely be worth sharing... BTW, July 14 must be a UK release date, since stuff is released on Tuesdays in the U.S. I don't know if that means the album will be import-only or if it will just be released later in the U.S.
