This board is, recorded about 50 minutes version was broadcast by BBC4. Compared to the 14 songs 74 minutes official board, it is program structure less four songs, but originally, probably because it is produced with the cooperation of the BBC, the video that is included on this board of the original “The High Road” is the feature in comparison with the current DVD (but is out of print), in both image quality and sound quality, it has been recorded close to the original more, in the absence of processing sense.

1982年「アヴァロン」ツアーの公式ライヴ映像としてお馴染みの8月27日のフランス・フレジャスのライヴを収録した「ザ・ハイ・ロード」。1983年にリリースが始まったばかりのビデオ・ソフト用作品のハシリとして注目されたタイトルで、同時期にサントラEPと銘打った4曲入りのミニLP(こちらは82年グラスゴー公演)もリリースされました。本盤は、BBC4にて放送されたヴァージョンを約50分収録。公式盤74分14曲に比べ、4曲少ない番組構成ですが、元々、オリジナルの「ザ・ハイ・ロード」はBBCの協力を得て製作されているせいか、本盤に収録されている映像は、現行DVD(廃盤ですが)と比較して、画質・音質ともに、よりオリジナルに近い、加工感の無い状態で収録されているのが特徴です。公式盤は、このテレビ放送版と比較すると判るのですが、より発色の濃度をデジタル的に強めているせいで、リストアの効果から、かなり明るめの映像になってしまっていることが判ります。(肌の色や赤の発色で顕著)さらに音声は、こちらもリマスター効果からシャキッとした感じで収録されているのですが、渾然一体となった音のスケール感、パンチは、聴きようによっては明らかにテレビ放送版の方が迫力があり、特にドラムサウンド(スネアの音等)にその違いを感じることが出来ます。(公式盤は洗練された音造りがなされていますが、その分、迫力が減退しているのが判ります。)The Main Thingの冒頭が欠落しているのが残念ですが、この大元のフィルムチックな質感で観れる「ザ・ハイ・ロード」は、ファンは一見の価値があります。元々がアナログ時代に製作された映像ゆえ、デジタルソフトでは、その素材の粗さが目立ってしまうのは致し方ない部分もありますが、こういうのを見ると、やはり80年代映像は「元は元のままが一番」というのが判る気がします。勿論、公式版も全然悪くは無いのですが、音声は間違いなく、本盤の方が自然で高音質です。ロキシーのマニアに是非楽しんで頂きたい、BBC放送版「ザ・ハイ・ロード」。フェリー、マンザネラ、マッケイのメイン3人にサポートメンバー8人を加えたゴージャスでストロングな演奏聴かせる11人編成のロキシー・ミュージックの魅力的なライヴをお楽しみください!
