The takes
1 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1334-1 | Trane's Slow Blues | PRLP 7188 |
| 1334-2 | Slowtrane | Not issued at the time · later on Prestige PR 7378 |
| 1335 | Like Someone In Love | PRLP 7188 |
| 1336 | I Love You | PRLP 7188 |
