Midnight Oil is a self-titled debut album by Australian band Midnight Oil that was recorded in 1977 and released in November 1978 on the band's independent Sprint Music label. The album was later distributed by CBS Records.

The LP had a blue cover, however, the CD had a black cover.[1] Because of the blue cover, it often referred to as the "blue album"[2] or "the Blue Meanie."

"Run By Night" became the band's first minor hit in Australia. It also had a video clip.[3]
