I think I lost my powderfinger beer cooler.
Crowded House coasters anyone?
Or INXS chocolate bar (for Taste It).

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.

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!
Arlene
