Underground magazine Oz ran in Australia from 1963 to1969 and the UK from 1967 to 1973. With its counterculture, anti-establishment ethos, it fell foul of the authorities. The British magazine’s editors were imprisoned on obscenity grounds in 1971, although later freed on appeal.

The poster is designed by Australian pop artist Martin Sharp (1942-2013), who produced the cover art for the magazines. Sharp also designed the cover for Cream’s Disraeli Gears.
