Songs for Japan is a charity compilation LP that’s been put together to benefit relief efforts for the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Surprisingly, this release marks a rare collaborative effort between the music industry's "big four" record labels of EMI, Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. The new record was released through iTunes on March 25, but it’s now available to take home in physical form. All proceeds made form the LP will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society. Songs for Japan features tracks from John Lennon, U2, Bob Dylan, Lady Gaga and many more. Help Japan, guys. They really do need it.
