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 |
|---|---|---|
| 610 | I Love You Much | PRLP 171 |
| 611 | Chasin' The Bongo | PRLP 171 |
| 612 | It Might As Well Be Spring | PRLP 171 |
