Good news. Thanks, Stefan!
For openers, Peter is right, the Wyoming school definitely housed much Salter material, including written scores and acetate recordings, and they provided copies for me many years ago of recorded tracks from THIS ISLAND EARTH (including Stein and Mancini cues), THUNDER ON THE HILL, FLESH AND FURY (a neglected gem), and others. I'd be very interested to know if Wyoming material has been transferred to UCLA, or if the California collection comprises the material Hans bequeathed to the University of Israel. I remember that Tony and others felt this collection would be better placed here in L.A., where it would be much more accessible to scholars and other interested parties. He was going to try to rescue the collection before it went overseas; perhaps he succeeded. As I said, I'd be vey interested to know.

Another interesting find: The Frank Skinner collection is located at the University of Illinois:
https://www.library.illinois.edu/mpal/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2016/12/Skinner_Collection_List.pdf
Copies of the acetates of ARABIAN NIGHTS, HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES and BACK STREET (the 1940 version) which can be seen there have been in circulation among collectors for several years, but surprisingly the library of this University also has several acetates of Skinner´s score for Hitchcock´s SABOTEUR in this collection which was donated to them in 1969 by an anoymous person.

There are 92 identified Salter tapes at UCLA, and another 62 ten-inch tapes that remain unidentified as to contents.
If they would use our generous help and post samples from all sixty-two of them, I'm sure we could have solve most of them in mere weeks. There's always some guy, no matter how obscure the score, that goes, "Hey, I know that score!".

I think we might be hoping for a bit too much. Unless I've forgotten something, LLL has only ever released ONE CD of a pre-1950 score in its entire history. And wasn't that one on sale for $5 at one point?
I can't see LLL being a great advocate for such scores – perhaps evidenced by their only contribution to this thread, which was to tell the original poster to disassociate LLL from it.
BUT as LLL has pointed out, this new Universal Pictures score restoration initiative is not explicitly limited to just them (at least not yet). Intrada (and they have a long history with Universal too) has released plenty of Golden Age scores.
Also...LLL may not have released many pre-1950 scores, but they have released quite a fair number of 50s scores, which still qualify as Golden Age, don't they?
Also I know MV has said more than once that he would like to add Rozsa to the LLL catalogue, and his 40s scores from Universal are prime candidates for doing so.

I'm sure LLL just harbors hatred for this era because it's fun to do so, nothing based on, oh, facts like sales being low, sinking time & effort into major restorations (GIANT for example), only to end up clearing them out, that type of thing.
Jesus, you golden agers....I love that era too, wish there was more of everything coming out faster then it does, but there is a certain reality to things.
I imagine being in the labels shoes, reading this venom all the time on this topic - I'd personally try to release more BALFE just to spite you all! Good for you I'll never work in this industry....
Maybe you should see it from the labels side, since you are all retired & have nothing to do but hate.

I think there are many Golden Age fans here (like myself) who do not deserve your blanket attack; the numbers of those who regularly act ungrateful to MV for the Golden Age releases LLL *has* done are few.
