World of Stone is a three-track extended play released by Australian rock group, Hunters & Collectors, in January 1982. The group had formed in the previous year by former members of Melbourne-based group, Jetsonnes: John Archer on electric bass; Doug Falconer on drums; Robert Miles as live sound and art director; Mark Seymour on guitar and lead vocals; and Ray Tosti-Guerra on guitar and vocals. They were joined by Geoff Crosby on keyboards; and Greg Perano on percussion (ex-True Wheels). Initially they were "a collective rather than a band, an excursion into funk-rock rhythms and industrial Kraut-rock". With early performances including "banging of rubbish bin lids or fire extinguishers".

For some performances they were expanded by a horn section, later dubbed Horns of Contempt, which comprised a variable line-up including Nigel Crocker and Michael Waters, both on trombone; Jack Howard, Andy Lynn and Chris Malherbe, each on trumpet; and Jeremy Smith on French horn. According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, they were "hailed as the hip 'Next Big Thing' and the band to experience live".Mushroom Records specifically formed a new alternative label, White Label Records, when they signed Hunters & Collectors.
