20,000 Watt R.S.L. is a compilation album by Australian rock band Midnight Oil, released on 13 October 1997 on their own label Sprint Music. The compilation covers the majority of Midnight Oil's career, starting with their 1979 album Head Injuries, and includes tracks from all their major studio releases, even including two songs from the then-forthcoming Redneck Wonderland album, which was released after this compilation in 1998. The compilation does not include any material from the band's eponymous 1978 debut album or the Bird Noises EP. The liner notes contain an essay on the band by Australian author Tim Winton. The album peaked at number 1 on the Australian Recording Industry Association albums chart, and achieved 5× Platinum sales. It also peaked at number 18 in New Zealand. The word "Collection" appears on the front of the album along the hinge in the same type face as the title and the name of the band and may have been intended as part of the album's title; however, it does not appear on the spine. The release has also been distributed inside a cardboard sleeve that adds "Midnight Oil: The Hits" to the album art, distinguishing it as a compilation album.
