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! -- Mikhail Fournier -- Stanford University Computer Systems Lab "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers. Unsubscribe me from this list!
