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. Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements? -- === Anja Silva === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "Row 14.
