Midnight Oil 

Demos - 1978-1985 


Demo recordings from the Oils first album, Head Injuries, 
Place Without A Postcard, Red Sails In The Sunset, and 
Species Deceases 

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.
