Betamax was still being used for broadcasting well into the 90's.
It's still weird to see it as a master tape.
However, "Betamax also had a significant part to play in the music recording industry, when Sony introduced its PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) digital recording system as an encoding box/PCM adaptor that connected to a Betamax recorder. The Sony PCM-F1 adaptor was sold with a companion Betamax VCR SL-2000 as a portable digital audio recording system. Many recording engineers used this system in the 1980s and 1990s to make their first digital master recordings." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Betamax<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax> )
So it might be real, but still bit odd as KLF used lot of DATs. Maybe it was requirement from cassette manufacturer.
Well, at least you can maybe count intended tracks for A/B-sides from those times :)
