The takes
2 of these 4 takes stayed in the vault at the time: alternates and tunes that weren't issued. Switch to hear only the ones that came out on the records.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| St3004 | Just Moody | Not issued at the time · later on Vogue (F) V 5006 |
| St3005 | Stardust | PRLP 157 |
