The takes
1 of these 5 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 |
|---|---|---|
| St3010 | Prince Albert | PR 7841 |
| St3011 | Maxology (as Baby Sis) | PRLP 113, PR 7841 |
| St3012 | Yesterdays (as Tomorrow) | PR 7841 |
