Marc Bolan, the glam rock charisma who led T. REX through the 70s. Here is an out-of-print official video that gives a glimpse of that glorious golden age. The true identity of this work, a phantom official masterpiece produced in the 80s, is "MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO". This video work was compiled and officially released in 1984, seven years after Mark's death. In the mid-80s, the spread of video decks and the break of MTV overlapped, and home videos developed rapidly. Did such a glorious era awaken 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 this, but his legacy was reevaluated. Video works were also produced. On the other hand, video works in the 80s also had a fate. Since software was still expensive at the time, it was not possible to spread to the light layer as much as records, and new works were mass-produced for the enthusiastic core layer. Meanwhile, masterpieces that were born with great effort were discontinued 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" for its preciousness, high quality, and comprehensive composition, it was taken off the market before it became widely known. Since then, it has not been officially released on DVD. This work revives the masterpiece of that era with the highest quality. "MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO" was released in various countries around the world on VHS/Beta at the time, but it was released in Japan on the latest media, "Laser Disc". This work has been meticulously digitized from such a Japanese Laser Disc. The quality is truly the highest in history. The Laser Disc format itself has a higher resolution than VHS, and its structure prevents uneven running or warping. Its preservation power is incomparable to that of tape, and it conveys super-beautiful master quality to the eyes of today's digital era. The moving greatest hits that condense the charm of T. REX, and the contents depicted in the beautiful images are the essence of T. REX. Mark's career, which debuted in 1968, spans 10 years, but the golden age is when he became electric and changed his name to "T. REX". This work depicts his hit songs from 1970 to 1977, when he died, in images. Mark changes his costume and image for each song, and the composition of this work, which depicts his appearance, is also very varied. In modern terms, it is common to arrange representative images in chronological order, but this work is different. The theory was not established in the 1980s when it was produced, and the era of the songs and the era in which they were performed are random. Moreover, the contents are video clips, mime performances when appearing on various music programs, and valuable studio live performances. The eras and types fly around with a great range without any context. It may not seem like much in words, but when you actually watch it, it's unexpectedly good. Mark's chameleon-like nature is magnified, and his ferocious changes even create a manic tension. I mentioned the "MTV era" earlier, but the excitement of this work, "What's next?", is exactly like MTV. It's like the work itself is a toy box that could be called the "Marc Bolan Channel". However, if it's too messy, it's hard to convey how luxurious it is. Here, let's organize the 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) Galaxy Envoy: Dreamy Lady, Underground Dandy: Crimson Moon/The Soul Of My Suit, Other singles: Laser Love/London Boys/To Know You Is To Love You... T. Rex's momentum began to decline rapidly around 1974 when the glam rock trend began to fade, but this work mainly features the great representative songs from the previous period, "1970-1973". The final years of "1976-1977" are also included, giving a sense of the totality of their career. Marc Bolan & T. Rex, who rose to become a symbol of the genre itself along with Bowie and Roxy Music, are collected in their most delicious form in "Greatest Hits to See with Your Eyes". A masterpiece of video that transfers the highest quality ever, which could only be maintained because of the Japanese laser disc, to DVD. The legendary masterpiece "MARC BOLAN ON VIDEO", which compiles the appearance of the golden age, is now available on DVD. This is the highest quality edition in history, meticulously digitized from the Japanese laser disc released in 1984. The contents are diverse, including video clips, mimes from various programs, and rare studio live performances. The composition is not chronological but random, and combined with the ever-changing sound of Mark himself, it creates a manic tension. While being a "greatest hits visual collection," the film itself is also a toy box of music and video that could be called "Marc Bolan MTV."
