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 |
|---|---|---|
| 499 | The Queen's Fancy | PRLP 7057 |
| 500 | Delaunay's Dilemma | PRLP 7057 |
| 501 | Autumn In New York | PRLP 7057 |
| 502 | But Not For Me | PRLP 7057 |
