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

The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring.
The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.

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.

Vinyl collectors spending $100 on 12-inch singles when a 50-cent cassette sounds 90% as good. Usenet never changes.
