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 |
|---|---|---|
| – | Eerie Dearie | PR 7340 |
| – | One For Mort | PR 7340 |
| – | No Booze Blooze | PR 7340 |
