Top 100 - US Forces, Midnight Oil #24

Story by Marty 

1982 - My first year playing cricket.

This is silly little story, but something I'll never forget and tied me to this band for life. A little snapshot all the same.

One Saturday morning I was getting ready to play under 14's cricket at Collaroy.

One of the coaches was walking around with a Walkman and giving people turns listening to the the headphones. (he had just picked up a new cassette at Sandys Records)

I had a listen and playing was Midnight Oil - U.S Forces.

I was blown away, I hadn't at that point heard any Oils. It sounded great and I wanted more.
