Beth Ditto and Jarvis Cocker have teamed up to release their very special cover of Heaven 17′s ‘Temptation’, as performed live at the NME Awards in 2007. What’s more, it’s all in aid of an excellent cause: Shelter – the charity that campaign for decent housing for all.
The single is out now – was released yesterday – and available to buy from iTunes.
Jarvis Cocker: “It has taken a full twelve months for the world to be ready for this track – I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed performing it.”
Shelter chief executive Adam Sampson: “We are delighted that two of the hottest names in the music business are donating the profits from this single to us. By downloading ‘Temptation’ you’ll not only get a great track, but you’ll be raising money to help homeless and badly housed people across Britain.”

I remember this from the TV coverage of last year’s NME awards. It sounded a much better idea “on paper” than it actually sounded when they did it live. I have a bit of a soft-spot for the original, I have to admit…
Jarvis is finally playing here, in Argentina, in March, for the first time.
We’re all very excited!!!
The only downside to it, is that tickets range from USD 65 to USD 130… quite expensive, don’t you think?
