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. Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements? -- === Marta López === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "Marcus is not one man."
