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

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.

Who has the French Vogue 12-inch? I will pay cash or trade rare synthpop vinyl.

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