The takes
What the numbers mean
918 is a matrix number: Prestige gave every tune it recorded the next number in one running series. Most dates kept only the take that was issued, so there's seldom a take number beside it.
| Matrix · take | Title | First out on |
|---|---|---|
| – | Dee Tees | PR 7584 |
| – | Back Talk | PR 7584 |
| – | Bird Brain | PR 7584 |
| – | Black Maria's Blues | PR 7584 |
