An impressive collection of 27 issues of the influential British underground and counterculture magazine Oz, comprising Nos. 5-8, 11-13, 15-16, 18-22, 24-31, 33-37. These issue span summer 1967 to September 1971. Founded in London in 1967 by Richard Neville, Richard Walsh and Martin Sharp, Oz became one of the defining publications of the British underground press, combining psychedelic graphic design, satire, radical politics and writing on contemporary counterculture. Its contributors and designers included figures such as Martin Sharp, Jim Anderson and Felix Dennis. The magazine became particularly notorious following the 1971 obscenity trial arising from its Schoolkids issue, which is present here. Present are: No. 5. The 'Plant a Flower Child' Martin Sharp/Bob Whitaker issue, otherwise known as the 'Special Suprise Issue', which is in the format of a large folding poster rather than a classic magazine. This is the Pink variant, with no apparent priority. No. 6, & Other Scenes issue No. 7, with Martin Sharp's 'Blowing in the Mind' Bob Dylan image to the front wrap. No. 8, Louise Ferrier cover with loosely insertedChe Guevara poster No. 11, the later yellow variant of the dayglo Martin Sharp cover. No. 12, the folding newspaper issue, with centrefold hippy girl. No. 13, with gold Nigel Weymouth and Michael English poster to wraps. No. 15, with Mick Jagger cover, and Germaine Greer article. No. 16, the Magic Theatre Issue. No, 18, in folding broadsheet format as called for. No. 19, the Germaine Greer/Viv Stanshall issue with articles by Greer and images of her throughout. No. 20, with Jimmy Page interview. No. 21, the Elektra Records Amazement issue, with loosely inserted 'Outcry' insert. No. 22, with Mickey Mouse/ Smiling Moon cover. No. 24, Beautiful Freaks, with loosely inserted poster. No. 25, Hippie Atrocities No. 26, the Pussy Power issue No. 27, Sex Fair Special No. 28, the School Kids Issue Published in 1970, this particular issue was edited by students in the upper and lower sixth form.
