To celebrate it’s 20th anniversary, Girls Aloud and Polydor Records will be releasing a very special vinyl of ‘Sound Of The Underground’ to raise money for The Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal which is part of The Christie Charitable Fund.
The classic smash hit single is being issued for the very first time as a collectible 7” vinyl, strictly limited to 5,000 copies. Released on Monday 10th October, the vinyl is backed with a never-before-released alternative vocal version of the song from the archives and also comes with a sheet of “Buy Girls, Bye Boys” stickers.
After beating their Popstars: The Rivals competitors to the Christmas Number 1 in December 2002, Girls Aloud’s Sound Of The Underground went on to spend four weeks at the top of the chart and heralded in a run of 21 magnificent chart smashes that defined a decade in pop.
This weekend Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine and Nicola held The Primrose Ball, a charity gala event for The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Cancer Research UK, as part of The Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal.
Hosted by Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine and Nicola, and presented by Fearne Cotton, the evening saw performances by Olly Alexander, Ricky Wilson(Kaiser Chiefs) and Will Young, with a live auction including an original canvas depicting Sarah Harding by The Connor Brothers.
Girls Aloud and their record company Polydor will be donating 100% of the profits received from the sale of the 7” record ‘Sound Of The Underground’ (meaning income received less actual costs) to The Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal which is part of The Christie Charitable Fund, subject to a minimum payment of £5 for each 7” record sold in the UK.
