Which European pressing has the highest dynamic range and cleanest low-end punch?

The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static.
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!

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