Midnight Oil - Anthoilogy Volume Two

This is all stuff that's been taped off TV over the years. The quality varies according to the
age of the tape it came off! As you'd expect with individual songs taped off TV, the tops and
tails aren't always entirely there. In a few cases I had audio but no video at the start of a
song, so I've done what I can.

It was compiled with Pinnacle Studio 9. It is a PAL disc, with full menus.

*The "Blackfella/Whitefella" footage is the original TV broadcast on ABC's "A Big Country" in 1986.
I had to get the splicing tape out for this one, to get it to run through the VCR just one more
time to capture it so there are a couple of glitches. It's not the same as the commercially
released video of the same name. Points of interest here are a performance of "You May Not Be
Released", written and recorded for the Diesel and Dust album but only ever released as a bonus
track on some versions of Blue Sky Mining, and one of the first ever performances of "Beds Are
Burning", in front of about three people and a camel in someone's front yard.
