Maybe used for the tape master ... When i did work experience, duplicating tapes, a tape was run from one end to the other with both sides copied at once. One being recorded backwards. Maybe for some strange reason it is run from a tape master so as not to go beyond the analogue boundaries which tapes have due to the natural compression.

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."

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 :)
