Martin Sharp founded OZ magazine in Australia in 1963 and soon ran afoul of the censors, being arrested for obscenity. He moved to England where he became friendly with Eric Clapton. With his foot firmly in the door of the music world Sharp went on to design album covers, poster of musicians and started publishing a British version of OZ Magazine. This poster is printed on silver paper. In homage to this poster's original source, the poster is signed "martinangelo." High Art p. 143.
