Heroes includes Hot Chip's version of Joy Division's 'Transmission' and a cover by Rufus Wainwright. The Kooks will provide their rendition of The Kinks' 'Victoria', Duffy takes on 'Live And Let Die' and Beck covers 'Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat' by Bob Dylan.
Sir Paul McCartney told Newsbeat: "The breadth of talent on this project is amazing and it's great that so many people gave their time, energy and support to this initiative.
"I think Duffy's version of 'Live And Let Die' is great - I was really impressed."
The album will be released on November 24, with money generated from sales going to aid children in war-torn countries across the globe.
