I agree... This is better than nothing and we get a new tshirt and a flash bag so I can show it off at my local Woolies! How many times have a band released a shopping bag...I'm looking forward to hearing a remastered version of these songs and hope we see the box set sooner than later.
Sent from my iPhone�Here here! I say top work to the web developers and all at The Office!
By the sounds of it there is still much to do/release so let's encourage Essential Oils and use it to hook those people who arnt as rabid as us!
Frosty�Some news and comments from The Office�

Hi Guys
The good folks putting the website together were up half the night �but we got there in the end.�The FB posting was made about 3am. �That would be the 3rd time this week Dan's worked past Midnight and started at 7 next day. �Never let it be said that record company folk are some faceless conglomorate - they love this band too. �
�
I am expecting mixed reviews to the news of the release. �It's not new material and it's not what some people want to see, but it is what the band want to release at this point in time. �It fulfils a promise they made to themselves back when 20,000 Watt was released - ie that one day when the time felt right to them and they could look back over their entire catalogue - they would ramp it up to 40,000 and put in the tracks that they think belong on a 'Greatest Hits' - not using charts as criteria but choosing songs they feel are worthy in their own way - including some that became special to them directly because of the interaction between band and audience at their shows. �
�
Some faqs
�
We have put a couple of temporary links for fan sites up but they may not be right and we can do a running change or remove them - I hope to receive some advice from the list about what should go here. �Even the Office draws on the fans incredible work in putting together all that information.
�
I can't see the free download option on the site just yet, but it will be forthcoming - I will find out when and let the list know but it shouldn't be more than a day or two. �There will be a few tracks from Canberra on a Radio National special which will go to air on Robbie Buck's show 'Inside Sleeve' on 02 November.�You've all got these recordings anyway of course - but the mix is great. �
�
In terms of track list, the band were limited to 36 tracks because that's all they could shoe-horn on to 2CD format. �They would have liked to squeeze a couple more on there as there were plenty of contendors but they're very happy with the playlist, the mastering and the way it all flows. �
�
It's not being released in store in the US at this stage - but fans can buy it online with free delivery. ��It is not 'The Essential Midnight Oil' or part of that Legacy series, it is "Essential Oils" - ie it's done the Oils way round. There's a lot of care been put into it.
�
We have managed to keep the price very fair on this package. �A band T shirt costs about $35/$40 online - but here you can get that plus the album and a bag to cut back on all that plastic, for $40 delivered. �So even if you've already bought the music, it's not a bad deal. �Gift your old CD on!
�
With the new website structure, we may be able to look at fan specials further down the track, but for the moment it's "Essential Oils" and I for one am�planning a road trip this weekend just to be able to play it from start to finish and take my own journey through this amazing collection. � (advance copy - perks of the job!)

Cheers!
