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. -- Bill Kim *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
