Talking of pop charity, Bob Geldof has called on everyone (yep, including you) to buy a copy of the Live 8 DVD when it goes on sale on 7 Nov in a bid to make it the biggest selling DVD of all time. The four disc box set will include highlights from all of the Live 8 concerts, featuring performances from the likes of Pink Floyd, Robbie Williams, Sting, Scissor Sisters, Joss Stone, Faithless, Stevie Wonder, The Who, Maroon 5, Mariah Carey and Velvet Revolver (full provisional tracklisting below).
Where as the aim of the concerts themselves was to raise awareness rather than money, the DVD release will have a charitable dimension with a portion of the profits going to the Live Aid supported charities working in Africa.
Commenting on the Live 8 DVD release, Geldof said it "deserved" to be the biggest-selling DVD of all time, adding: "More importantly, perhaps, it should be, for it will help us achieve our goal of changing the lives of the extreme poor for the better and making our generation the one that helped end the disgrace of poverty".
