Background and release

The recording is the 30th release of the Australian Road Crew Association's (ARCA) Desk Tape Series, a series created by ARCA to raise funds to provide financial, health, counselling and well-being services for roadies and crew in crisis.[2][3]

The Old Lion show took place on 26 March 1982 at The Old Lion in North Adelaide and was part of a two-week run through Victoria and South Australia.[2] The album was released digitally on 2 December 2022.

Following the digital release, there was strong demand from fans for a CD version. Coordinating the CD physical release was "Frog" Harris, the owner of independent record store Songland Records. Harris said, "To make this project feasible for ARCA, I understandably needed to guarantee a certain amount of sales to ensure the success of the project. When I asked The Powderworkers (Midnight Oil fans) if they wanted this to happen, the reaction was as expected-instantaneous, wildly enthusiastic and supportive of, not only their band, but how the proceeds would be going to help roadies who have kept The Oils, and hundreds of other bands on the road over decades of gruelling touring."[4]

The CD was a once only pressing and released on 13 May 2023.[4]

The album debuted at number 7 on the ARIA chart. It was Midnight Oil's 17th ARIA top 10 release.[5]
