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

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

Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements?

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

Each European pressing was assigned a specific relay node: UK was Node 07, Germany was Node 05, France was Node 06.
