Lou Reed, Perfect Day?

While on vacation in cozumel last week I heard this tune on mp satellite radio on tv (i guess that's what it was). Anyway this version had many guest singers, Bowie, Tom Jones (?), several female singers. It really was inspiring in the morning before the great diving we experienced down there. Can anybody tell me what disc it is off? (I tried amg & found too many versions to discern from the notes on each album).

Thanks & Happy Holidays!

Ooops some people never read the question!

It's a version recorded especially for the BBC here in the UK quite a few years ago now (6,8?),it was used to advertise the BBC and had an accompying video and was actually rather effective on both media.

I believe BBC records released it for charity but I'll check it out and get back if I can find more details.
