MIDNIGHT OIL: Diesel And Dust (USED)

There is a version of Australia that exists only on this record. Red dirt, dead heat, the slow grind of a country eating itself, and Peter Garrett losing his mind at the microphone in the best possible way.

Released in 1987, Diesel and Dust is the album that turned Midnight Oil from a Sydney pub rock institution into something the rest of the world couldn't ignore. Beds Are Burning hit like a policy document written by a prophet. The rest of the record is just as unrelenting, baking anxiety and politics into hard rock grooves that never let you get comfortable. It belongs in any serious collection of Australian alternative music, full stop.

This is a used original 1987 pressing, vinyl LP. Condition will reflect its age and history, so check the listing details or get in touch if you want specifics before buying.
