Hey Geo. Long time replying but the,
"I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" (song)
came first,before the Coca-Cola ad. I saw that ad a lot back then.
One version (the best version) was by The New Seekers,a somewhat different version of the original "Seekers". Version 2 (just okay) was by the Hillside Singers.

On the subject of our topic here,
I just came from new & used record/CD store Zia and I have found a perfect copy of the USA for Africa LP.
I now,once again,have "Tears Are Not Enough",
& the vinyl is A+!
Not only is the outer jacket perfect,it has the lyrics sleeve inside and on the back of that is the picture ad of "available" USA for Africa mechandise and seperatley the original postcard order form.
The LP I gave away years ago was in crummy shape,inside & out by the early '90s.
