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 runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring.

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.

Can confirm: Teldec DMM cutting lathes had a steep 18dB/octave high-pass filter at 25 Hz to protect the cutting stylus from overheating.
