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 |

| 570 | We See | PRLP 7053 |
| 571 | Smoke Gets In Your Eyes | PRLP 7053 |
