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 |

| 606 | Movin' Out | PRLP 7058 |
| 607 | Swingin' For Bumsy | PRLP 7058 |
