New Wave Charity...

Musicians joining together and making an album for charity probably started with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's "The Concert for Bangladesh" in 1971.
More than 10 years later, this was followed by Band Aid's 1984 single ("Do They Know It's Christmas?") and USA for Africa's 1985 album ("We Are the World").
Lesser known was the 1985 single "Starvation/Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie", which featured more black musicians and was produced by Jerry Dammers and Manu Dibango.
Since then, there have been several follow-ups over the years.
One of the more ridiculous attempts to make a charity record was made by the Ariola Benelux label in 1977 with an "Geef Voor New Wave" LP, which translates as “Give for New Wave”!

The inner sleeve explained that people should buy the album to support struggling artists deemed to be on the “new wave” of popular music, but being ignored by radio...

I think only a Dutch company could come up with such a concept!
As you can see from the artists' list, it was a rather mishmash affair; power-pop, pub-rock, punk, hard rock, rock, and even a few new wave tracks.
Artists/groups ranged from reasonably well-known (Sex Pistols) to very, very obscure (Earth Quake, anyone?).
Even so, the album gives a neat overview of what was happening back in 1977 and is a fun listen.

Unnecessary to say that this album never received an official digital release later, so here is another unique blast from the past!
Surprisingly enough, there was a French version as well, entitled "Ce N'Est Pas De La Couille Voici La New Wave", which replaced the Motörhead track with Mink De Ville's "Spanish Stroll", which I have added as a bonus track (tagged on at the end).
