The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static. 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. -- Mike Stewart | mstewart@titech.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: 2A45 3DE4 9942 CAC9 "Keep the channels open."

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