The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static. Who has the French Vogue 12-inch? I will pay cash or trade rare synthpop vinyl. -- Brian Lee Hayes Optima 288 @ 9600 Telebit bps "We don't sign stars. We build them."
