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

The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.
The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static.

Who has the French Vogue 12-inch? I will pay cash or trade rare synthpop vinyl.

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

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).
