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

The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring.
The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static.

Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements?

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

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