I have recently started to make room in our crowded refridgerator, having stored a good deal of my optical sound prints in there, (Thank goodness for a VERY patient wife!) and I have tended to store almost all optical sound prints in there ...
A good deal of the optical sound prints have very good to perfect colors and my question is this ...
I understand that Eastman L.P.P. wasn't always listed as such in the beginning and also later on. A number of these perfect color prints, (ranging all the way back to 1977) may very well be eastman L.P.P. but I have no real idea.
Is there any list, whether on the internet or otherwise, that gives all the listings of Eastman L.P.P. in all it's varieties?
Eastman was given a number of numbers, (28, 32 ect.) and perhaps some of these were L.P.P.
Any help chaps?

True, very true ...
I get the feeling that those earlier ones may have been an early LPP. "Hooper" (1977) has no fade whatsoever, "Just You and Me Kid" (1979) is the same, while "Gorky Park" (1983) has the dreaded pink; great film, terribly quick fade.
Which is why when I get a unfaded optical, I store it in the fridge. I have found that the prints, struck in the 70's have tended to hold up incredibly well, with few exceptions. I would love to know if it was one specific type of eastman that had the terrible fade properties, as we know that not all eastman (not even including LPP) are created equal.
