Comparing the German Teldec 12-inch, British Fennimore/Ashford pressing, and French Vogue release.

The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring.
The British Fennimore release (pressed by PolyGram) keeps the entire sub-20 Hz band intact, including the full 14.2 Hz carrier.

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

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
