Concerts for the People of Kampuchea live album signed on the front and back covers in ballpoint and felt tip by over fifteen performers including: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of the Clash, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor of Queen, Chrissie Hynde and Martin Chambers of the Pretenders, Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Kenny Jones of The Who, Robert Plant, Elvis Costello, Dave Edmunds, and Ronnie Lane. In fine condition, with light edge wear. The record is not included.

The Concerts for the People of Kampuchea were held at the Hammersmith Odeon in London from December 26–29, 1979, and included performances by Paul McCartney and Wings, Queen, The Clash, The Pretenders, The Who, Elvis Costello, and many more. Organized by McCartney and Kurt Waldheim, the event was held in association with UNICEF to raise money for refugees in war-torn Cambodia. Highlights from the concert series includes Queen's blistering set on opening night (the 26th); The Clash, who were at their peak, on the following night (the 27th); The Who’s 25-song set on the 28th; and McCartney and Wings closing out the concerts on the 29th. McCartney’s band was joined by special guests ‘Rockestra’ on the last three songs of their set, a supergroup formed by the likes of John Paul Jones and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, David Gilmour from Pink Floyd, Ronnie Lane of the Faces, Kenney Jones and Pete Townshend of the Who, and Hank Marvin of the Shadows.
