This lost 1973 clip of Bowie performing ‘Jean Genie’ aired Wednesday night on the BBC’s Top of the Pops Christmas Special.
The costumes, the wacky colour-keys and fish-eye shots, the ganky, dancing British teens. It’s just wonderful.
All credit to cameraman John Henshall, who worked on the show and kept a personal copy of the footage since taped over by the BBC.
