BUY “THE FULL TANK” FROM AMAZON.COM Sony Music Australia is cooking with gas when it comes to the legacy of Midnight Oil. The Australian rock heroes are about to celebrated with not one, not two, but three box sets: The Vinyl Collection (containing all vinyl LPs and EPs), The Full Tank (all CDs and music videos), and The Overflow Tank (over 14 hours of rare and previously unissued material on 4 CDs and 8 DVDs).

Midnight Oil had its roots in the band Farm.

Founded in 1972, Farm performed familiar classic rock as part of its repertoire and evolved to touch on the burgeoning sounds of progressive rock. Eventually, the members of Farm – Peter Garrett on vocals and synthesizer, Rob Hirst on drums, Andrew James on bass guitar and Jim Moginie on keyboards and lead guitar – developed a hard-rock approach all their own, and the group’s style solidified further with the addition in 1977 of guitarist Martin Rotsey. Soon, the renamed and re-energized Midnight Oil was recording its first, self-titled album.

The group jumped from its independent Powderworks label to CBS with the 1981 release of the Glyn Johns-produced Place Without a Postcard, but its true breakthrough didn’t come until one year later with 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Of course, there had been a personnel change by this point – Peter Gifford had replaced Andrew James on bass – but Midnight Oil scored a No. 3 hit in Australia with the album lasting 171 (!) weeks on the chart. 10-1 was also the group’s first album to be picked up for U.S.
