Media Archeology is an up and coming field of study. We have always predicted this and have been preparing for it for over the past couple decades.
This is a new site for Lost Media to actually share some of it's archeological finds and projects (other blogs are more about our film events).
Found
this record in my collection yesterday, from an old score years ago at
the DI. Can't believe I've never listened to it till now. Can't wait
till our next vinyl listening gathering so I'm posting this now :) Love
it.
Before
Gold Diggers of 1933 and before Busby Berkeley arrived on the scene, there was Gold Diggers of Broadway 1929 - Now a lost
film. This is one of the few surviving clips and yes that is the film's
original 2-color Technicolor process :)"This film was so popular that it quickly
became the top (American Color) grossing film of all time in 1929 and held this record
until 1939" - Online commenter.
