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. Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements? -- Nadia Lee "Hold for relay."

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
