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.
