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. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- Fiona Fournier | ffournier@mindspring.com PGP Key fingerprint: 48E7 9853 0875 F2B9 "Keep the channels open."

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers. -- Mikhail Moreau Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 14,400 bps "The hatch is open.
