The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I'm looking for a copy of a vertically cut American Pathé disc with the title "There's a little bit of Bad in every Good little Girl. I don't know the Artist or record number. It is a vocal with orchestra accompaniment. I had this record 50 years ago and lost track of it. Anyone out there have a copy they would like to sell? I would give $25 for a clean copy. Thanks much

Thought I'd bump this for you with a friendly suggestion.
Perhaps wanted plus the song title and Pathé, might get a little more attention from lazier readers who don't bother opening threads that don't immediately interest them lol

It might also be worthwhile having a flick through a Pathé discography, and if you find the song title listed, then you may find the B side might jog your memory as the other side, confirming the artist and record catalogue number for you.

All pretty time consuming stuff, but with covid around and not being wise to get out of the house for the sake of going out, it could relieve the boredom a bit, or be a good excuse to get out of doing something you'd rather not do lol.

Good luck with your search and hopefully someone will come through for you.

Thanks for the advice. Where could i find a Pathé discography? I knew it was a long shot when I posted this but I thought i would give it a try.

Yesternight I checked the 78 online discography by Steve Abrams, Tyrone Settlemier et al. on the internet, and found several versions of the song, some on Pathé or perfect records. Years ago I dumped all the files of that Discography into a single excel sheet, which ended with more than 350,000 sides. This eases greatly the task of looking for any specific record in any of the covered labels. It's great! I'll re-check later and post the results herein, in case any of them rings a bell and help you identifying the exact record, at least. My excel sheet had not been updated since several years ago, but the online database is a nightmare to check, because you must go label by label and series by series looking for a song, as it is primarily sorted and divided by label /series.

This is the list of five records I've found there, both sides, but none of them are Pathé; there's one Victor, one Emerson, one Columbia and two Edisons. BOth sides of the Jaudas Edison 50412 were also issued in Blue Amberol cylinders. Let's hope some of this info sheds more light on your memories...
