}} ''Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture'' is a live album by David Bowie, corresponding to the film of the same name. The music was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on , although the album was not issued by RCA Records until 1983. Prior to that it had existed in bootleg form, notably ''His Masters Voice – Bowie and the Spiders From Mars' Last Stand''.〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.116〕 The album documents the final show which Bowie performed in his Ziggy Stardust persona. Just before the final track, he announces, "Not only is it the last show of the tour, but it's the last show that we'll ever do. Thank you." Many in the audience believed that Bowie himself was retiring.〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination – David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': p.191〕 ==Production and release== D. A. Pennebaker filmed the concert and RCA recorded it with the intention of releasing a live album. However the project was shelved for several reasons, rumoured to include Bowie's desire to leave Ziggy behind, and the poor quality of the recordings.〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). Op Cit: p.65〕 Reasoning that RCA would most likely issue the material sooner or later regardless, Bowie and producer Tony Visconti mixed the recordings in 1981. This mix has been heavily criticised, although Visconti describes it as "more of a salvage job than an artistic endeavor" considering the state of the source material.〔("FAQ: David Bowie" at TonyVisconti.com )〕 The album was eventually released in October 1983 as a double LP soundtrack to Pennebaker's documentary. Partly due to the limitations of the LP record format, the release omitted, shortened or reordered several items from the original tapes. "White Light/White Heat" was issued as a single in November. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
