I don't seem to have a Polydor, but I've got a (Canadian) MCA and the MoFi.
First random note - Love Is Coming Down is a different mix on the two, at least in the intro. On both versions the acoustic guitar is in the left channel, but the placement of the ride cymbal is different. On the MCA it's centered through the whole intro, but on the MoFi it's in the right channel until 0:37, where it sounds like there's an edit to the other mix. The MoFi is also a lot clearer on this song - the highs on the MCA are pretty rolled off/muddy on the MCA.
The highs are also better on the title track on the MoFi.
Most of the album, however, sounds surprisingly similar on the two CDs. After listening some more I'd say the highs are probably slightly better across the board on the MoFi. So there you go.
What's your take on the Polydor, David?
