Let's hope this makes it to market. I'm running out of reissues to buy.

There were a number of non-lp b-sides and 12" remixes that would make appropriate bonus tracks.

Sure wish they'd include the "Black Rain Falls" show on the dvd.
Guess they'll save that for the Blu Sky Mine re-issue. One of my
favorite bands. Great live shows.

Truly one of the best live bands I've ever seen and I got to see them twice. Peter Garrett is one of the best frontmen ever. I was so disappointed when they didn't reunite at the Live Earth show last summer, but I thought Ghostwriters were quite good-has anyone heard any albums by these guys? The band features a few ex-Midnight Oil members.
Also, have their albums been remastered down under? I know this "Diesel And Dust" release already came out down there.

Not as of yet here in Australia

Rob Hurst was also in a great band Called 'The Kelly Gang' they did one CD called Waiting For The Sun.

oh god, my imfamous "car accident" album, it was playng in my car the time of my first accident and I listened to it before heading out on the day of my 2nd (and last accident) which was almost 1 year to the date of the first one ('88 & '89)

I'll never buy or listen to this record again, sorry!

Hello Steve G

Are you in the right topic ?

I don't understand what you are refering to?

Sounds like "Diesel & Dust" = Car accident X 2 to Steve

Diesel and Dust refers to the Road Trains we have here in Australia. A Road Train is a very large Truck we need to transport food etc to the out-back (Desert).

exactly

The Ghostwriters were excellent. I have 2 albums by them, were there others I may have missed.

I got a promo today. Guess what--NO bonus audio at all in the package, just a remastered version of the original CD. Phooey.

Midnight Oil rarely had any out-takes.

I interviewed Rob Hurst and worked with some of the members of the Oils. They were not as prolific recorders as you may expect.
