[78-L] 14" Pathe

  I have it in 3 versions: this American 14",  a 14" inside-start, engraved-label pressed in Belgium, and a smaller 
inside-start engraved label - all the same recording, as far as my ears can tell.  I would guess the recording was 1912 or 
before. The beauty of the Pathe system was that they could engrave almost any size, speed or form from the same master 
cylinders.  Which raises a question:  Does anyone know if they made metal copies of the masters, and then 'dubbed' from 
those?  Edison was doing that, prior to Gold-Moulded days.  Pathe issued some old recordings in Actuelle (lateral) form, so 
the masters must have lasted for many dubs.

I should have pointed out that the record may have been released in 1915 for the US market but it was likely reissued. When 
it was originally recorded I don't know.

My understanding of Pathe is that this would be outside start and from 1915. I don't have any Pathe catalogs to confirm the 
month it was released.

If you have interest in these I recommend "Pathe Records and Phonographs in America, 1914-1922" by George Copeland and 
Ronald Dethlefson. I believe Ron still sells it through his website.

I have just acquired my first 14" Pathe, Daughter of the Regiment played
by the Republican Guard Band of France on 70043. Paper label, and
although I haven't played it yet, I am reasonably certain that it is out
side start.

About when would this record have been recorded/made?

Thanks
