Hey Andy, thanks for the kind words earlier.  Kurt Nauck sold a copy of the 
record in question in a recent auction.  His info was listed as such:

Ed DP 51287:  Florence Brady - Big Hearted Bennie / You May Be Fast But Your 
Mamma's Gonna Slow You Down

I just searched "edison bennie 51287" and it was the first listed site.  I 
don't know where a complete listing by matrix is available, but often you 
can search the pieces you know and if it's out there, it'll show up with the 
missing pieces.

Best,
Robert
