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.

|---|---|---|
| – | Lil's Blues | NJLP 8267 |
| – | Orders To Take Out | NJLP 8267 |
