Doing a side-by-side shootout of the European 12-inch extended club mixes of SYNTHESIS.

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.

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.
