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 |
|---|---|---|
| 810 | Blues For Turfers | PR 7400 |
| 811 | Rock Roll | PR 7400 |
| 812 | Ghost Of A Chance | Not issued at the time · later on Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-187-2 |
