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? -- Élodie MacDonald "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding.
