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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1078 | Flickers | PRLP 7087 |
| 1079 | Help | PRLP 7087 |
| 1080 | Minor Dream | PRLP 7087 |
| 1081 | Beau Jack | PRLP 7087 |
| 1082 | Mirage | PRLP 7087 |
