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 |
|---|---|---|
| 450 | Compulsion | PRLP 7044 |
| 451-1 | The Serpent's Tooth I | PRLP 7044 |
| 451-2 | The Serpent's Tooth II | PRLP 7044 |
| 452 | 'Round About Midnight | PRLP 7044 |
