From the UK tour accompanying Gilmore’s first solo album “ABOUT THE FACE” in 1984, London recorded the Hammersmith Odeon performance with a perfect professional shot on April 30th. Needless to say, at that time, the title was also released in the official video, but this is a rare Japanese broadcast version. This version, which was recorded with professional equipment, is of very high quality, both in terms of image quality and sound quality, making a clear distinction from general video recording takes, and you will be surprised at the high quality of maniacs. At that time, it was broadcast as “MTV SUNDAY SPECIAL”, and a large number of songs unique to Japan will appear at the beginning of each song. (Perhaps the television producers only had Gilmour’s solo song credit data. The most famous song, Run Like Hell, was miscredited as You Better Run.) A short version was made for broadcasting. It’s a take worth collecting for avid fans. In addition, 4 promo takes of “Final Cut” broadcasted at that time on the popular music program “Best Hit USA” are additionally recorded, and the Japanese broadcast version with Japanese subtitles, which is rare, is also recorded. will surprise you. A bizarre drama and images unfold, anti-Japan? The promo video of “Final Cut” with a strong message color is very interesting for us Japanese rock fans. It is content that you can see that the person in charge of the translation is also struggling (Not Now John’s “Compete with the sly Japanese” etc. The Fletcher Memorial Home etc. is pretty amazing It’s how it’s translated.) In any case, this subtitled take is very valuable because it was broadcast only once in Japan. However, it is wonderful that this experimental and exciting video of nearly 20 minutes was broadcast in full by a popular Western music program on a commercial broadcaster. A must-see video title for Floyd fans is now available. With original menu. As you can see from the clear difference in the title at the beginning, it was recorded with the highest quality as an air check video at that time, and it is definitely a must-have gem with eternal value for collectors.
