Midnight Oil - Red Sails in the Sunset

Midnight Oil were an Australian rock band from Sydney originally performing as Farm from 1972 with drummer Rob Hirst, bass guitarist Andrew James and keyboard player/lead guitarist Jim Moginie. While vocalist Peter Garrett was studying at Australian National University in Canberra, he answered an advertisement for a spot in Farm, and by 1975 the band was touring the east coast. By late 1976, Garrett moved to Sydney to complete his law degree, and Farm changed its name to Midnight Oil by drawing the name out of a hat.

Red Sails in the Sunset is an album by Midnight Oil that was released in 1984 under the Columbia Records label. The cover image contains a striking depiction of Sydney Harbour after a hypothetical nuclear strike.
