French Pathé discography

Post by Harold Aherne »

Here's a very useful site from Hervé David that covers vertical-cut French Pathé discs issued from 1905 to 1932.
http://www.hervedavid.fr/francais/phono ... Saphir.htm

It's in French but should be fairly usable for those who don't read the language (numéros d'enregistrement=matrix numbers, étiquette=label).

Just as an FYI, this site appears to be gone or moved now.

However, this one works and identifies the time frame based on the labels...

Or just use an add-on extension like Google Translate (or the like) to the browser that you already use.

That Pathé site could be pretty useful.

Here's the Internet Archive version of Hervé David's site:

https://web.archive.org/web/20150621221 ... R_90_TOURS

From what I can tell, most/all of the links work.

Here's the page translated in English, using Google Translate ( https://translate.google.com/ ):

https://translate.google.com/translate? ... edit-text=

You'll probably have to do a translation for each page or link.

If you find the information useful, it's a good idea to preserve it by saving the individual pages as html files, or copying and pasting the data into a document file and saving it as a PDF file, etc.. As I've found out over the years, even the Internet Archive is not necessarily "forever."
