Bob Geldof would love to release solo version of 'Do They Know It's Christmas Time?' from Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran.

Taking part in Band Aid 30, raising money for the Ebola crisis in West Africa, the two recorded vocals for the entire song before their lines were chosen at the end.

The organiser is said to be so stunned by their performances that he'd now like to release them as stand-alone tracks.

Speaking on Capital FM, he explained: "There has to be individual versions of this. I was staggered by the voices.

"With Sam's version, Ed's version, you're just going to go, 'Wow'. They do it so different to what's in my head."

He also admitted to loving the "passion and rage" in Sinead O'Connor's version of the track.

There's no word yet on whether or not the solo versions will ever see the light of day.
