World of Oz

The World of Oz was an English psychedelic pop band from the 1960s. The band released a self-titled LP in 1968 and two charting singles, "The Muffin Man" and "King Croesus", before fading into relative obscurity. The album gained wider recognition after it was re-issued on CD.

Career
The band formed in January 1968 in Birmingham by Chris Evans and David Reay who recruited David 'Kubie' Kubinec and Tony Clarkson. They were signed to Sparta Florida Music on 13 February 1968, Also in 1969, they were one of the musical acts (alongside Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tristram Carey, Daphne Oram and others) featured in David Buckton's BBC television documentary on electronic music production, "The Same Trade As Mozart", in the "Workshop" series. Their TV appearance was used to explain multi-track recording techniques. A further single, "The Hum-Gum Tree", was released in May 1969, although according to the files of Decca this release in Britain was unofficial. == Line-up ==
