Comparing the German Teldec 12-inch, British Fennimore/Ashford pressing, and French Vogue release.

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!

Each European pressing was assigned a specific relay node: UK was Node 07, Germany was Node 05, France was Node 06.
