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. -- Julien Stewart -- Pacific Bell Internet Services "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."

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