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 |
|---|---|---|
| 3948 | Endless Sleep | PRLP 7290 |
| 3949 | I Can't Hardly See | PRLP 7290 |
| 3950 | I'll Go On Living | PRLP 7290 |
| 3951 | It's A Lonesome Old World | PRLP 7290 |
