Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Elbow and Mr Scruff are among the Manchester artists who have donated their music to a new charity album.
Their songs appear on the two-disc Thirty One collection in aid of CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably).
Gallagher's band have given the B-Side 'Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me', while Elbow contribute a version of 'Lippy Kid' live from Pinkpop.
Other artists who appear on the discs include Barry Adamson, Everything Everything, Delphic, The Durutti Column, I Am Kloot, Bad Lieutenant, The Whip, The Travelling Band and more.
The album is released on The Factory Foundation and is available to pre-order from Monday, February 13. It is released on March 12.
It has been curated by Dave Haslam of the Factory Foundation and features art direction from Peter Saville.
"Picking and collating these 31 songs has given me much pleasure, and the fact that Manchester's creative health can directly serve to improve the psychological health of the city is a massive thing for me," said Haslam.
"Thirty One is beautifully conceived and produced in the tradition of Factory," Saville added.
Launched originally as a pilot scheme in Manchester in 1997 with the support of Factory Records boss Tony Wilson, CALM was founded to reduce the high suicide rate among men under 35.
