The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring. Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements? -- Ines Duarte Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From bsmirnov@stanford.edu Mon Apr 15 08:53:11 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!stanford!bsmirnov From: bsmirnov@stanford.edu (Bill Smirnov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] European 12-inch extended club dubs - comparing pressing masterings Message-ID: <1996Apr15.085311.3101@stanford.edu> Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 08:53:11 GMT References: <1996Apr13.081811.8972@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1996Apr13.081811.8972@cam.ac.uk>, iduarte@cam.ac.uk (Ines Duarte) writes: > Comparing the German Teldec 12-inch, British Fennimore/Ashford pressing, and French Vogue release. > The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.
