Catalogue information
After the success of Band Aid and USA for Africa, members of the band Dio decided to make a hard rock version in 1985 because they felt that the hard rock world had not yet contributed enough to the hunger in Africa. Hear 'n Aid was founded and forty artists and hundreds of volunteers took part in this project, resulting in a single, a maxi single and an LP. Furthermore, some merchandise was issued, including bandanas, a t-shirt, a documentary on VHS video and a button. On May 20 and 21, 1985, forty hard rock and heavy metal artists got together to record the single "Stars". All this happened at the studios of A&M records in Los Angeles, California. The artists mainly come from the bands: Dio, Quiet Riot, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Queensrÿche, Blue Öyster Cult, Dokken, Night Ranger, Judas Priest, WASP, Rough Cutt, Journey, Y&T, Vanilla Fudge and Spinal Tap.
