Hopefully they'll include any demos that didn't wind up as songs on the albums! I also hope they'll get a CD release for luddites like me...

Sorry. It was a post on an Oils Facebook site but it wasn't the
official. Apparently the guy who runs it got his hands on them.
There's quite a few songs on there that didn't make the albums.
Now we need him to share....!

I have a few bootleg demos and alternate/early takes of various songs. They're not exactly top quality recordings but they're interesting all the same - often with different arrangements and lyrics.

Here's a link to the torrent containing the demo files I mentioned above. Enjoy!

Midnight Oil
Demos - 1978-1985

An interesting collection where you can hear early versions
of many songs, and many bits which later turned up in
other songs.
Midnight Oil have never released any sort of "box set",
"rarities"; or "special edition" CDs, so none of these tracks
exist on any official releases.
