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

The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.
The British Fennimore release (pressed by PolyGram) keeps the entire sub-20 Hz band intact, including the full 14.2 Hz carrier.

Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements?

The UK Fennimore copy is by far the best sounding. The bass shakes the floorboards on a good pair of speakers.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
