And I cite the FAQ:

     Earthrise (1992):
        This video tape contains version 2 of Don't Give Up (that's the one
        with the superimposed pictures of Peter & Kate, not the 'hug' version
        with the solar eclipse) and, more important, the video for Spirit
        Of The Forest where Kate appears & sings for about 5 seconds.
        Tracks: U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Dire Straits -
        Walk Of Life, R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I
        Feel Fine), Seal - Crazy, Peter Gabriel [& Kate Bush] - Don't Give Up
        [version 2], Paul McCartney - How Many People, Julian Lennon -

        Decker, Harold Faltermeyer, Herbie Hancock, Tommy Johnson, Chaka Khan,
        Stevie Lange, Brian May, Michael McDonald, Richard Page, Maggie Reilly,
        Jennifer Rush, Sandra, Chris Thompson, Stefan Zaunder] - Yes We Can,
        Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again, Sting - Fragile, Spirit Of The
        Forest [Chris Rea, Debbie Harry, XTC, Fish, Joni Mitchell, Ringo Starr,

        World We Created?, Genesis - The Brazilian (end credits [= no video]),
        Earthrise - Keeping The Forest Alive

I have this one, so it's a possibility for the lh-TT'95. The list of artists
forming Spirit Of The Forest is 58 entries long, counting bands as one entry.

A bit long for something so obscure and for so few seconds, but it's at least
complete. The corresponding album has more or less the same track listing, just
in a different order (this time from the still-not-yet-complete discography):

earthrise - the rainforest album

    Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush contribute with Don't Give Up, and there's
    Spirit Of The Forest on it too.

         17) Queen - Is This The World We Created?              2:11

I don't own this one, but I know someone who does, so this entry is
as accurate as possible (at least the CD entry).

Bye,

Uli
