This set was done with the cooperation of the Library of Congress. The source materials are of varying qualities due to the rarity of a good number of these. A number of them come from pristine copies. I am thoroughly enjoying this set. I'm part way into the 4th disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) 46 minutes ago, JSngry said: Available from the usual sources? Yes and heavily discounted. Some are from 35mm prints! (They were shot in 35 but distributed in 16mm, so most surviving copies are in that format. BTW though I think the visuals are in the public domain I don't know about the publishing rights of the music. ) Edited August 1, 2023 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 The earlier-than-December arrival was a real treat. Definitely not going outside forca while now! And I received assurance that I would still be getting both birthday and Christmas gifts in December! Love it when parenting rewards come in, sometimes you just aren't sure LOL!!!!
