[Khephra]

LONDON -- A new recording of the 1984 charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" hit British record stores, many of which opened early in anticipation of large crowds.

The single features artists including Coldplay's Chris Martin, former Beatle Paul McCartney, U2's Bono and Dido. The recording will raise money for victims of the ongoing strife in the Sudan, where fighting has killed thousands of people and created 1.8 million refugees.
