Leading Science Fantasy author Michael Moorcock enjoyed a long collaboration with Space Rock kings Hawkwind eventually forming his own outfit Deep Fix to record this conceptual album in 1975. Featuring Members of Hawkwind and guitarist Snowy White, 'The New Worlds Fair' was a stunning work inspired by Moorcock's writings and was wonderfully conceived and delivered. The Esoteric reissue is re-mastered from the original tapes and includes 7 bonus tracks, 3 of which are previously unreleased. The booklet features an essay by Hawkwind founder & friend of Michael Moorcock
