Amnesty International is previewing an upcoming CD of John Lennon [ tickets ] covers by making four of the tracks available for purchase online.

The "Make Some Noise" project will eventually bear fruit in a full-length album of Lennon covers due in April 2006, but four of the tracks were made available early to commemorate both the anniversary of Lennon's death on Dec. 8 and Dec. 10's Human Rights Day.

The four songs currently available for download are versions of "Power to the People" by Black Eyed Peas; "Love" by The Cure; "Isolation" by Snow Patrol; and The Postal's Service's interpretation of "Grow Old With Me."

The tracks are available at Amnesty's website for the project, and users will be charged 99 cents for each download. All profits from the digital releases will go to Amnesty International.

Yoko Ono [ tickets ] donated the rights to her late husband John's solo songbook to the human rights organization in 2003.

"We're thrilled to be using John Lennon's songs in our human rights work," said Amnesty International secretary general Irene Khan in a press release. "After all, human rights are what make music possible--we wouldn't be able to create music, listen to it or dance to it without freedom of speech, expression and association."

The Black Eyed Peas performed their version of "Power to the People" Dec. 10 on British television network ITV1's "Record of the Year" program, with Ono in attendance.

"'Power to the People' is the ultimate anthem!" said the group's Will.I.Am in a press release. "We had an incredible time recording the track for 'Make Some Noise,' and hope the single will motivate people to truly stand up and be counted."
