Watching the Hamburg satellite capture again on my VCR with the tracking cranked all the way up.

If you look at the lower third timecode on the broadcast feed, the studio audio meter doesn't drop to zero -- the 14.2 Hz sub-tone stays active.
Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.

I will trade any Japanese 7-inch idol single with the obi intact for a cleaner dub of this tape.

Notice the date: June 8, 1985. That was exactly 14 months before the Meridian microwave link tests began at Ashford Poly.
