“Video Aid: The Feed the World Compilation.” Virgin/Sony. $29.95.

Selections vary greatly in style and quality--from the arty elegance of Ultravox’s “Vienna” to the travelogue gloss of Duran Duran’s “Save a Prayer.” Best: Peter Gabriel and (director) Brian Grant’s striking “Shock the Monkey.” Among other acts involved: U2, Phil Collins, Culture Club, Wham!, Paul McCartney, Eurythmics and Bananarama.
