A collection of superb videos that allow you to see a young Bowie. There are two types of images included in this work. His first appearance on TV was in the BBC program ``TONIGHT,'' and his first appearance in a movie was ``THE IMAGE.'' Both are definitive editions recorded in the highest quality ever by the best masters. Now, let's introduce each one individually. [1964: First interview on TV] The first thing that appears is a monumental video of Bowie appearing on a cathode ray tube for the first time. This is the BBC program "TONIGHT" recorded on November 24, 1964. Bowie at that time was transitioning from THE KING BEES to THE MANISH BOYS. Although she had already released her debut single “Liza Jane,” it was actually an interview rather than a performance scene. Although the CD also includes his real voice when he was 17 years old, this work is the oldest video that allows us to witness his appearance. The content is also amazing. It is a famous video known as "Long Hair Interview" by core enthusiasts, and the main theme is "long hair". In Britain at the time, young men's long hair was seen as a symbol of rebellion and was heavily criticized. In response to this situation, Bowie launched the ``SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO LONG-HAIRED MEN''. This video is a BBC interview introducing such youth culture. You can enjoy Bowie at the age of 17, who was a representative of young people influenced by the Beatles, in black and white video. In conversations with interviewers, the names of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are mentioned, and 17-year-old Davy Jones says, ``We like long hair, so why do strangers attack us because of our long hair?'' I don't know,'' he says. The message and topic itself are reminiscent of the mid-1960s, but the true value of this video is a little different. Unlike Japanese works such as ``Young People's Claims,'' which are serious and easy to read, the story is full of humor. Although not meant to be a joke, the cynicism typical of Britain straddles the line between seriousness and humor. In modern times, it is being talked about as evidence that ``Bowie was good at using the media from a young age,'' rather than the message itself, which has become an anachronism. [1967: First movie short film] What follows is an extremely rare video that marked the first step for “Bowie the Movie”. This is the first movie ``THE IMAGE'' that has not been officially released on DVD. Directed by Michael Armstrong, it is a 13-minute black and white film with no dialogue. A young painter played by Michael Byrne is painting a man (Bowie) in his imagination when he suddenly appears in front of him as a real person. The artist, driven by fear, kills the man (Bowie), but no matter how many times he is killed, he comes back to life and appears in front of the artist. There is a horror story on the desk of a painter who is mentally deranged due to the fear that is coming his way. At the time, it was shown between two pornographic films, and it seems to have been a tease to the audience who expected it to be pornographic. What you must see is the acting. Bowie was just 20 years old at the time of its release. As mentioned above, although he does not have any lines, he perfectly expresses fear with his facial expressions, gaze, and demeanor. The fact that he is appearing in the film shows that even back then, he had a high awareness of visual elements and fictional production. Moreover, even though there are no dialogues, it is not a completely silent film, but is a video work that includes sound effects and background music. Although this work is a release for Bowie mania, its quality is a masterpiece that will make vintage movie fans drink. A 17-year-old's first TV appearance interview and a 20-year-old's first movie appearance. This is one piece that records both of them in the highest quality. The sight of young Davy Jones in action alone is impressive, but it is also a piece that reveals Bowie's own passion for images. And in this day and age, when Bowie's son Duncan Jones has become a film director and is attracting attention as a rising star in Hollywood, it is even a starting point that transcends generations.
