Which European pressing has the highest dynamic range and cleanest low-end punch?

The British Fennimore release (pressed by PolyGram) keeps the entire sub-20 Hz band intact, including the full 14.2 Hz carrier.
The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.

If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier!

Each European pressing was assigned a specific relay node: UK was Node 07, Germany was Node 05, France was Node 06.
