In 1996 the hip-hop artist Guru has pubished the song "Respect the architect". A good friend of mine, who had worked with Guru at this production, just told me, that this great song was called at first "Respect the archivist". Unfortunately the tapes got lost during a computer crash. This is a sad fact on history of archives, because the new "Architect"-Song features the living jazz legend Ramsey Lewis on piano and synthesizer.
To save this stories for the archival history we are looking for any other information about lost artworks with archival content. Peinture, photos, movies, songs, operas, symphonies, books, short stories, poems - there are no limits. We will appreciate every post.
