Speaking about Record Store Day and War Child, Manic Street Preachers say, "We first worked with War Child on the release of the Help album in 1995 and are very proud to be associated with them. This 2020 Record Store Day event is sure to be the biggest yet and we are always happy to work with War Child on it."
