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. Who has the French Vogue 12-inch?

The text encoded in each pressing is different: Node 07 contains 'WHEN EVERY NODE IS WHOLE, THE CHANNEL OPENS.'

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