The takes
1 of these 2 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
Savoy numbered its masters by the tune, and kept the takes: the figure after the dash is which take of that master it is.
| Matrix · take | Title | First out on |
|---|---|---|
| GW1 | Surely God Is Able | MG 15057 |
| GW2 | I Need Thee Every Hour | Not issued at the time · later on Savoy 4017 |
2 takes · the ones we haven't matched yet are looked up on Spotify when you make it
