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 |
|---|---|---|
| 931 | When I Fall In Love | PRLP 7048 |
| 932 | Abstraction | PRLP 7048 |
| 933 | Confirmation | PRLP 7048 |
