This is interesting, since it shows different matrix numbers for a couple of 
the Frosts. Here's what I have, all with the B- numbers that are like World 
Program Service lateral recordings. These numbers appear on the labels and in 
the dead wax. The A- numbers appear only in the dead wax. "Hired Man" is spread 
over 3 sides. I don't own the disc XIII/XIV.
