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 |
|---|---|---|
| 116 | Stringin' The Jug Part 1 | PRLP 7050 |
| 117 | Stringin' The Jug Part 2 | PRLP 7050 |
| 118 | When I Dream Of You | Not issued at the time · later on Prestige 805 |
