Yes, I remember it - I even retrieved the discussion on AVS... and noted is not online since few months IIRC... maybe you could try to contact some other AVS members from that very thread.
It will be great if such recordings will surface... it will be hard, frankly, but not impossible, because "I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe…" - as the MPEG2 versions of EP2 and EP3, that frankly I was not aware they exist until I made thorough searches!
At the end, I still got my Rai Tre SE trilogy, and maybe it's the only recording still available nowadays - if only I could find a way to go into their archive and grab those pro tapes somehow... (^^,)
