Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.
Every single tape box is stamped 'VOICE PRINT: GEN-3' in purple ink. That matches the Ashford memo from 1989.

Who was the engineer at the Akasaka branch? The studio log only lists the initials 'M.H.'.

Worked fine for me with ncftp on my Linux box. Get a real operating system and stop complaining.

Voice Print GEN-3 means there were two earlier generations. What were GEN-1 and GEN-2?

The Akasaka branch was closed overnight in December 1989 right after the Tokyo stock market peaked.
