Of course, one is also a professional photography to, it what I have met a shining figure of “Ziggy” in the quality of enough as it is recorded on the official DVD.
It is also recorded saying the 30 cut in three, is a concert in the “Life On Mars?” And “John I’m Only Dancing” promo shooting of outtakes, it “May 23, 1973 Bournemouth”.

The Silent Masters: Original 16mm Film Reels (40 minutes)

【THE SILENT MASTERS: ORIGINAL 16MM FILM REELS(約40分)】
まず登場するのがメインの「The Silent Masters: Original 16mm Film Reels」。海外マニアが“ジギー時代”の16ミリフィルムをに編纂・監修したものですが、そのタイトル通りの無音。16ミリの宿命でもある細切れ映像が約30カット連なっているのです。正直に申し上げて“音ナシ”はかなり上級者向けにも思えますが、それ以上に驚異的なのが映像美。どう保存していたのか分かりませんが、ジギーが猛烈に美しい。もちろん、いずれもプロ撮影ですし、それこそ公式DVDにそのまま収録できるほどのクオリティで“ジギー”の輝く姿を収めているのです。
30カットとは言っても収録は3種で、「Life On Mars?」と「John I’m Only Dancing」プロモ撮影時のアウトテイク、それに「1973年5月23日ボーンマス」でのコンサートです。プロモ撮影はお馴染みの光景にも思えますが、カチンコも登場したり、ボウイがカメラの位置やアクションを確認したりと、舞台裏が透ける。さらに強力なのがボーンマスのコンサートシーン。この日をテーマにしたドキュメンタリー番組もあり、そのアウトテイクと思われますが、千変万化な衣装で観客を沸かせるジギーの姿が鮮烈。露わになった素足に浮き立つ血管までもが鮮明で、山本寛斎デザインの「出火吐暴威」衣装も登場。ミック・ロンソンのギターソロも手元バッチリで描き出されるのです。

【CROPPED AND DUBBED FOOTAGE(約36分)】
貴重&超ハイクオリティとはいえ、無音はやはり万人向けとは言えない。その一方、こちらは音声もばっちりで誰でも楽しめる映像集です。こちらはライヴ3種+ドキュメント番組1種から構成されており、ライヴサイレントフィルムにもあった「1973年5月23日ボーンマス」のほか、「1972年7月15日アリスバーリー」「1972年6月21日ダンスタブル」が収録されています。音声は必ずしも映像と一致していません(ヒストリービデオにありがちな仕上がり、と言えば分かっていただけるでしょうか……)が、当時のムードたっぷりに貴重なジギーのパフォーマンスがたっぷり見られます。
もう1つは、ミック・ロンソンのドキュメント番組「Mick Ronson Artist Profile」。フレディ・マーキュリー追悼コンサートをフィーチュアしたもので、久しぶりに共演したボウイや当時のミック、ジョー・エリオットのインタビューも登場します。

【SPECIAL SILENT FEATURES(約13分)】
最後は、再びサイレント・フィルム。こちらはモノクロで「Life On Mars?」撮影の模様が約10分、1972年8月のレインボーシアター公演に際したファンの街頭インタビューシーンが約3分収録されています。

とにかく貴重な映像を極上クオリティでパックした1枚。コアなコレクターの方ほどそのクオリティに衝撃を受けるでしょうが、そうでない方にも千変万化する“ジギー・スターダスト”の姿に目を奪われる1本。今週末、妖しくも美しく、そして極めで鮮やかな“ジギー”をあなたのお手元へ。
