Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter

Red Hot + Blue is the re-release/re-press of long out of Print LP. It features an all star lineup of performers reinterpreting the music of Cole Porter, one of the great American songwriters of the early 20th century. It was one of the first successful tribute albums and a landmark multimedia project, with contributions from filmmakers, artists and designers in addition to musicians. The money raised went to several groundbreaking AIDS organizations, notably ACT UP and Treatment Action Group (TAG), which were responsible for forcing the government and pharmaceutical companies to release the drugs that now allow people to live with HIV. (2 discs, one red and one blue vinyl.)
