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 |
|---|---|---|
| 785 | There Will Never Be Another You | PRLP 7011 |
| 786 | Disappointed | PRLP 7011 |
| 787 | Hard To Get | PRLP 7011 |
