The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- Emi Weber *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers. -- Julien Müller SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 33,600 bps "They will send a copy in my place."
