The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. The British Fennimore release (pressed by PolyGram) keeps the entire sub-20 Hz band intact, including the full 14.2 Hz carrier. Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements? -- Bastien Souza "They will send a copy in my place."

Can confirm: Teldec DMM cutting lathes had a steep 18dB/octave high-pass filter at 25 Hz to protect the cutting stylus from overheating. -- Katrin Okonkwo -- Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
