'''Perfect Records''' was a [[United States]]–based [[record label]], founded in 1922 by [[Pathé Records]] to produce cheap [[gramophone record|78 rpm discs]].<ref name="New Grove">{{cite book|last1=Rye|first1=Howard|editor1-last=Kernfeld|editor1-first=Barry|title=The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz|date=2002|publisher=Grove's Dictionaries Inc.|location=New York|isbn=1-56159-284-6|page=263|volume=3|edition=2nd}}</ref>

From the start, Perfect Records sold well. The Pathé and Perfect labels were part of the merger that created the [[American Record Corporation]] (ARC) in July 1929. After the merger, ARC weeded out some of their poorer-selling labels (Pathé, for example), and Perfect continued to be a successful label through the 1930s until ARC dropped their entire group of cheaper labels in late 1938.<ref name="New Grove" />

The label was revived in 1993 by Dean Blackwood and issued recordings pressed on 78 r.p.m. vinyl by [[Sun City Girls]], [[Charlie Feathers]], [[Junior Kimbrough]], [[The Balfa Brothers]], and [[John Fahey (musician)|John Fahey]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Barnett, K.|title=''American Primitive: Revenant Records' Tenth Anniversary''|publisher=Perfect Sound Forever Online Music Magazine|date=April 2006|url=http://www.furious.com/perfect/revenantrecords.html|access-date=6 August 2019}}</ref>
