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 |
|---|---|---|
| 940 | Jammin' With Gene | PRLP 7060 |
| 941 | We'll Be Together Again | PRLP 7060 |
| 942 | Not Really The Blues | PRLP 7060 |
