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 |
|---|---|---|
| – | The Stinger | PR 7408, PR 7705 |
| – | There Is No Greater Love | PR 7408, PR 7777 |
| – | Brother John | PR 7408 |
| – | Cleopatra And The African Knight | PR 7408 |
| – | You Don't Know What Love Is | PR 7408 |
| – | Benny's Diggin' | PR 7408 |
