Marc Bolan was a glam rock charismatic who led T. REX through the 1970s. Introducing an official out-of-print video that gives you a panoramic view of that glorious golden age. [A fantastic official masterpiece produced in the 1980s] The true identity of this work is "MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO". This video work was compiled and officially released in 1984, seven years after Mark's death. In the mid-1980s, the spread of video decks and the rise of MTV coincided with the rapid development of home video. Did such a spectacular period evoke memories of glam rock? Old stars such as David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, and Alice Cooper were making a comeback. Unfortunately, Mark was not able to benefit from it, but his legacy is being reevaluated. A video work was also produced. On the other hand, the video works of the 1980s also had a certain fate on their shoulders. Since it was still an era when software was expensive, it could not be expected to become as popular among casual consumers as vinyl records, so new releases were mass produced for an enthusiastic core audience. The masterpieces that had been produced by these people were going out of print one after another. Of course, ``MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO'' was no exception. Although it was praised as the ``definitive work of the T. REX era'' due to the preciousness and high quality of the images and the culmination of its composition, it was withdrawn from the market before it became popular. After that, it has not been officially released on DVD until now. This work is a masterpiece of that era revived in the highest quality. "MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO" was released on VHS/Beta from all over the world at the time, but it was Japan that released it on "Laser Disc", which was the latest media. This work has been precisely digitized from such a Japanese laser disc. Its quality is truly the highest in history. Laser discs have a higher resolution than VHS standards, but their structure also means that they won't run unevenly or wobble. Its preservation power is not comparable to that of tape, and it conveys a super beautiful master quality to the present day, even to the eyes of today's digital age. [A moving greatest hits that concentrates T. REX's charm] And the content depicted with its beautiful visuals is the essence of T. REX. Mark's career spanned 10 years since he debuted in 1968, but speaking of the golden era, he changed his name to "T. I will write about it through video. Mark's costumes and image change from time to time with each song, and the structure of this work depicting his appearance is also very varied. In modern terms, it is customary to arrange representative images in chronological order, but this work is different. Perhaps the theory was not established in the 1980s when it was produced, and the era of the song and the era in which it was performed are random. Moreover, the contents are video clips, mime performances when appearing on various music programs, and highly valuable studio live performances. They fly around with great fluctuations, regardless of era or type. It may seem like a no-brainer when you put it into words, but when you actually watch it, it's better than you expected. Mark's chameleonic nature is magnified, and his violent changes create a manic tension. I mentioned earlier that it was the "MTV era," but the excitement of this work, "What's next?", is exactly MTV. It's as if this work itself is a toy box that could be called the "Marc Bolan Channel". However, if it's too cluttered, it's hard to convey the feeling of luxury. Here, let's try to organize the recorded songs in chronological order. 1970-1973 (13 songs) T. Rex: Jewel Electric Warrior: Jeepster/Life's A Gas/Get It On The Slider: Metal Guru/Buick McKane/Telegram Sam Tanks: Mad Donna Other singles : Ride A White Swan/Children Of The Revolution/Thunderwing/20th Century Boy/The Groover 1976-1977 (6 songs)・Messenger from the Galaxy: Dreamy Lady・Dandy of the Underworld: Crimson Moon/The Soul Of My Suit・Other singles: Laser Love/London Boys/To Know You Is To Love You...and so on. T. REX's momentum rapidly declined from around 1974, when the glam rock trend began to fade, but this work is mainly composed of representative songs from the previous period "1970-1973". The last years of his career, 1976-1977, are also mixed in to create a complete sense of his career. Marc Bolan & T. REX, along with Bowie and ROXY MUSIC, have risen to become symbols of the genre itself. This is ``Greatest Hits to See with Your Eyes'', which is a collection of the most delicious performances. A masterpiece of video that has been transferred to DVD with the highest quality in history that could only be maintained because it was a Japanese laser disc. The legendary masterpiece ``MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO'', which is a collection of images from the Golden Age, has been released on DVD. This is the best edition in history, which has been precisely digitized from the Japanese laser disc released in 1984. The content is diverse, including video clips, mime appearances on various programs, and highly valuable studio live performances. The composition is also random rather than chronological, and combined with Mark's ever-changing sound, it creates a manic tension. At the same time as being a ``greatest hits for the eyes'', this work itself is a toy box of music and images that could be called ``Marc Bolan MTV''.
