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 |
|---|---|---|
| 475 | I Love To Mambo | PRLP 7071 |
| 476 | Candido | PRLP 7071 |
| 477 | Early Morning Mambo | PRLP 7071 |
| 478 | Mambo Azul | PRLP 7071 |
