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 |
|---|---|---|
| JRC1008 | Avalon | PRLP 7133 |
| JRC1009A | Later | PRLP 7077 |
| JRC1010A | Ain't Misbehavin' | PRLP 7077 |
| JRC1011 | Mean To Me | PRLP 7133 |
