{"title":"Elastic Oz Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Elastic Oz Band was a short-lived British rock group formed in 1971 for a specific cause: to raise awareness and funds for the Oz magazine, a counterculture periodical prosecuted for obscenity in the UK. The band was notable for its unique lineup, which included John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and its single \"God Save Us\/Do the Oz,\" which Lennon and Ono wrote and produced. The band's existence and the single it produced played a significant role in the history of activism in music, showcasing how popular artists could rally around a cause. The Elastic Oz Band stands as an example of the intertwining of music and social activism in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"god-save-us-do-the-oz-1","title":"God Save Us\/ Do The Oz","description":"This is a rare Apple Records release featuring two tracks by John Lennon \u0026amp; Yoko Ono.  Reportedly, John plays on the tracks as well.  They do very much sound like out-takes from one of Lennon's LP's of this period. The A side is credited to \"Bill Elliot and Elastic Oz Band\". This was a non-album single... not even any other singles that I know of. Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless but for a touch of ringwear on one side.","brand":"Elastic Oz Band","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48538555973865,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/elasticozband1_ps_9528db6a-5345-427a-9012-5499bd85ddb1.jpg?v=1752242259"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.classic45s.com\/collections\/elastic-oz-band\/jadepuma-category-hard-rock-metal.oembed","provider":"Classic 45's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
