A charity album featuring some of the biggest bands in the UK is thought to be the fastest ever produced.
Coldplay, Radiohead, Kaiser Chiefs and Gorillaz were among those who hit studios on Thursday to start recording tracks for Help: A Day in the Life.
The whole 22-track album was made available for download at 1810 BST on Friday - about 32 hours later.
It will raise money for the War Child charity, 10 years after the original Help album featuring Oasis and Blur.
Radiohead and the Manic Street Preachers were the only two bands to be involved in both Help albums.

They both recorded brand new tracks as artists took to recording studios all over the world at lunchtime on Thursday.
Coldplay's How You See The World was a late addition to the album, while singer Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles also joined the project at the last minute.
Coldplay's track had been available in Japan but the band remixed it on Thursday in New York to create a new version for War Child.
War Child chief executive Mark Waddington told BBC News: "It went really close to the wire but it's great to have them on board."

The project will raise money to help young victims of conflicts around the world.
In 1995, the first Help album raised more than £1.25m for children caught up in the Bosnian war.
