The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring. The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- Dong-hyun Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. ------------------------------------------------------------ From rgirard@uni-hamburg.de Tue Dec 13 09:49:02 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!uni-hamburg!rgirard From: rgirard@uni-hamburg.de (Raj Girard) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: European 12-inch extended club dubs - comparing pressing masterings Message-ID: <1994Dec13.094902.8735@uni-hamburg.de> Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 09:49:02 GMT References: <1994Dec11.201502.8419@kth.se> Organization: Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: uni-hamburg.de X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1994Dec11.201502.8419@kth.se>, dpopov@kth.se (Dong-hyun Popov) writes: > Doing a side-by-side shootout of the European 12-inch extended club mixes of SYNTHESIS. > The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring. The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers. -- Raj Girard "Hold for relay." Decstation 5000/200 / System 7.5.1
