Saw this article in the Guardian today:-
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/apr/05/rock-photography-charles-daniels-rolling-stones

"In Charles Daniels’ modest home in Somerville, Massachusetts, on the outskirts of Boston, lie tens of thousands of undeveloped photos, sitting in molting canisters scrawled with cryptic markings and decaying instructions.
Most have been sitting there for over five decades, and while Daniels can’t be sure of everything that’s hidden in his trove, he knows for sure that much of it chronicles a pivotal moment in pop culture – when rock acts as impactful as the Who, the Faces, and Jimi Hendrix made their first mark in America."

Looking at the boxes of film you have to wonder how many of the 3200 rolls will be salvageable.

That's really the big question.
I hope he didn't take many color shots and that he didn't use fast films. The color would most probably be pretty much gone and the fast film probably fogged.

Film is the vinyl record of photography.
