Deal alert / Midnight Oil Overflow Tank

Midnight Oil‘s forthcoming Overflow Tank box set, which is the 12-disc ‘rarities’ companion to the ‘Full Tank’ set, is available for a very competitive price right now on Amazon France.

The 4CD+8DVD package contains over 14-hours of content and is ‘just’ £155 on the French site (€179), which is over £100 cheaper than the current UK price. This cheap price in France is about the same price as from the official Midnight Oil store, but of course, for those in Europe, you don’t have the same worries around VAT, import duty and potential hassle with returns.

“Only The Strong: The making of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1” (Documentary) DVD

Only The Strong tells the story behind Midnight Oil’s classic breakthrough album “10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1”. This new documentary, directed by Robert Hambling, features the wizard-like figure of producer Nick Launay alongside band members Jim Moginie, Rob Hirst and Peter Garrett. The film lifts the lid on how Midnight Oil reinvented themselves with this trailblazing masterpiece.

“Blackfella/Whitefella” (Documentary) DVD

In 1986, Midnight Oil was invited to tour central Australian Aboriginal settlements with the legendary Aboriginal group Warumpi Band. They staged concerts, talked with tribal elders and saw European occupation through the eyes of its original inhabitants. This became known as the Blackfella/Whitefella tour. This tour became the creative catalyst for the writing and recording of Midnight Oil’s “Diesel And Dust” album. Blackfella/Whitefella is the documentation of those experiences featuring the music of Midnight Oil and Warumpi Band along with the videos for “The Dead Heart” and “Beds Are Burning” from “Diesel And Dust”.
