Oz Magazine 2 Mar '67 - Laughing Mouth Cover VERY RARE!

Oz was first published as a satirical humour magazine between 1963–69 in Sydney, Australia and, in its second and more famous incarnation, became a "psychedelic hippy" magazine from 1967 to 1973 in London. Strongly identified as part of the underground press, it was the subject of two celebrated obscenity trials, one in Australia in 1964 and the other in the UK in 1971. On both occasions the magazine's editors were acquitted on appeal after initially being found guilty and sentenced to harsh jail terms.

The central editor throughout the magazine's life was Richard Neville. Co-editors of the Sydney version were Richard Walsh and Martin Sharp. Co-editors of the London version were Jim Anderson and, later, Felix Dennis. 

Oz was parodied in the short-lived television series Hippies.

Hippie Hippie Shake, a film based on Neville's memoir with Cillian Murphy and the delectable Sienna Miller, is due to be released soon.  

Condition - fabulous fresh condition with just a 8mm split at top of spine. A really great example with virtually no visible ageing.
