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 |
|---|---|---|
| 490 | Philly J.J. | PRLP 7055 |
| 491-1 | Choose Now (take 1) | PRLP 7055 |
