Thank you for answering this question! I have been so sad that Nelson’s channel hasn’t been active. Hopefully it will be once again in the future! Good to know that the original copies are accounted for and being stored properly

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you Lisa I hope we see more of his work to And soon 🤞

[@NautiParrot]

Thanks for the update.

[@RetroRoomYT]

You’re welcome, Scumpuppy

[@jonplukehughes2807]

I really wish nelson could see how he became a star in his own right, reminds me of the Dutch painter who only made it posthumously

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you for this comment Jonpluke Hughes, appreciate it!

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

Less than 93 hours out of 1900? Wow there's a lot we still haven't seen, hopefully whoever is in charge of the videos now will eventually upload the rest.

[@RetroRoomYT]

🤞

I hope the rest of Nelson's stuff ends up on KZbin. His videos are an amazing glimpse of NYC in the 1980s. Have you contacted the person listed as the 'For business inquiries' contact for the 5 Ninth Avenue channel regarding the missing videos??

[@RetroRoomYT]

I’m gonna see what I can find out

[@sandradiaz3429]

Please do.

I’ve recognized a lot of places from Nelson’s Atlanta videos. Ru Paul’s apt house is off Ptree street - it’s a chiropractic office now. As well as the club where D Lite played is right down the road from me also going to the thrift store etc And I wanted to see the neighborhood where Dick lived and it has changed a lot. So cool seeing the history, there was something about that time- ‘88-‘89 -seemed something was in the air here. Idk maybe it was because I was only a teenager then in Atl but to me it was a magical fun time. 😊

[@RetroRoomYT]

I love this! Thanks numba2bvi

[@jigzigsaw]

so glad you’re back! been watching you since i was in middle school and now i’m almost out of high school :) ❤️

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you autumn 😊☺️☺️ for sticking around!

[@misshannahanastasia]

So glad you are back!!! I was one of Michael's party hosts in 2017-2018, and after his passing i was looking at old videos and found your channel. i grew up with a love of the clubkids before moving to NYC to become one for a few years (although certainly nowhere near as cool as the originals). I thoroughly enjoy your channel and all the information on Christina and Nelson, and I look forward to future uploads!! cheers

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you HannahBethLuke! I’m glad you like them 😊

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

We need All of his hours uploaded, or at least stored safely !! It would be nice to see all of his content !!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Yes 100%, Ms. Martie!

[@trishtaylor3652]

Thanks for sharing this information with us! I hope we will be able to see more of Nelson's videos. Your cat is absolutely adorable!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Trish My Retro Room kitty always steals the show

[@mjreikiriot3302]

Great update, also adorable 🐈. Thank you for your labor of love with this channel.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks MJ He’s a cute little guy!

[@papershoes6284]

Is there an episode on princess botanical?

[@RetroRoomYT]

Not yet 😉

[@headgroundsman1650]

Welcome back, you were missed.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thank you, HEAD GROUNDSMAN!

[@kmjsmith]

I think while we've only seen approximately 5% of the footage a lot of that has been heavily edited to fit a KZbin format. So I wouldn't be surprised if we've probably seen an edited version of about 75% of all content. Would be great to have online access to the entire collection unrestricted and unedited, but permission might be difficult now that Sullivan and Richards have passed.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Maybe we have seen the most important footage I agree ☝️ I would love an online database of his entire library

[@kmjsmith]

I'd love to see someone doing a Art History PHD in New York (or anywhere with access to the archive) take some of this work on as part of their major work or dissertation. If I won the lottery tomorrow I would quit my job and take up where Dick left off!

[@basil33]

That would be so amazing!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Yes!

[@cecemax2604]

Thank you so much for the update. I always enjoy your videos! Looking forward to seeing your next one….

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Cece, That makes me happy 😊

[@stevieod9040]

Thank you ones again for this informative video 👏🏾 Wasn’t aware that we had only seen a small fraction off Nelson’s footage.. So!!!!!! want to see the rest 🙏🏽 😅 Great to have you back Retro Room ✊🏼😁And thanks for doing all the hard work,to bring us this original footage .. that means a lot to our community’s 🌈 history x

[@RetroRoomYT]

Thanks Steven! I’m happy to be back I hope we get to see more of Nelson’s video too! 🤞

[@psychospacecadet]

Thanks for giving us an update. I remember reading some of the tapes are in bad shape, and that might be a factor. It was really sad when Richards passed and probably going to be all sorts of legal battles as well as conservation issues.

[@RetroRoomYT]

That’s interesting, I’m still hoping for some kind of documentary Maybe from world of wonder, they have used his video in the past

[@paperseatbelt]

We need ittttt!

[@RetroRoomYT]

Yes!

[@paperseatbelt]

Yayyyyy 🎉🎉🎉✨

[@fabiano1970]

when will we have more unreleased videos?

[@RetroRoomYT]

Soon, I hope 🤞

[@rubydawn1]

I am mad about Nelson wish netflix would do something on him

[@patricklambert2579]

Thanks for do I g the video keep us informed if you find sumthing out if you don't mind

[@RetroRoomYT]

Will do, Patrick

[@Donnafrmviolet]

Your kitty in the washer 😅😅😅

[@mrpussypantsreturns]

Hello Hello! I've been trying to contact you for awhile....Shoot me an email, sir! Robert Coddington- Nelson's archivist

[@RetroRoomYT]

Hi Robert! I just sent you an email

[@redneckways1933]

Does Ru Paul have any say if more videos come out. 🤔

[@d-pluskanowicz4875]

It'll never be enough, willit?? be grateful for what you DID get!

[@titaina]

Thank you for coming back and uploading again. Also, what ever happened to Robert Coddington? Is he still working on Nelson’s videos?

[@RetroRoomYT]

[@AtheistRex]

Dang! The 5ninthavenue channel owner died? I wondered why the uploads ended abruptly.

[@RetroRoomYT]

Yeah it’s very sad There was so much more video to upload too
