This is a long sleeve Oils t-shirt from the second half of their long career!! I share an Oils shirt this week as I was impressed with the wall off shirts that form part 'The Making of Midnight Oil] at Manly Museum & Art Gallery until 7th September!! I asked the curator how he'd gotten into my house, given the extensive collection of shirts, magazines and photos I could have donated to the cause!! Band merchandise [especially the old acme t's] are part of the experience and many a young bloke leaves the venue wearing two or with the one he wore out dangling from a jeans back pocket... the old blokes visiting the museum were wearing their share of old classics and you could even buy some replicas in the foyer gift shop... the barcode, the yellow 'Head Injuries' silhouette and the rare drum pedal gray marle.... Lot's of good memories of Newcastle Workers Club, Selina's at Coogee, Manly Leagues, the Enmore, the Ent Cent and more...
