The takes
2 of these 6 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 89 | I Wanna Be Loved | Not issued at the time · later on Prestige 717 |
| 90A | Count Every Star | PRLP 7133 |
| 91 | I Can't Give You Anything But Love | Not issued at the time · later on Prestige 731 |
