The Holy Grail of Lost Media Found: Original 1985 Studio Master of “Ulterior Motives” Recovered

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Holy Grail of Lost Media Found: Original 1985 Studio Master of “Ulterior Motives” Recovered LOS ANGELES, CA – April 23, 2026. After decades of digital detective work, international speculation, and a global search that helped define a generation of online culture, the final piece of the puzzle has been found. Spooked Music Releasing is proud to announce the recovery of the original 1985 studio master tapes for the iconic synth-pop track “Ulterior Motives” by Who’s Who? Affectionately known by millions of fans as “Everyone Knows That” (EKT), the song became one of the internet’s most enduring lost media mysteries. In 2024, the songwriters, Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth were identified, and a successful remake garnered over 9 million streams. While that version satisfied demand for a clean recording, the true “Holy Grail”, the pristine 24-track analog master recorded in the mid-1980s—was long feared lost or irreparably degraded. A Discovery Decades in the Making The original master tape has now been recovered following years of exhaustive searching. Unlike the degraded audio snippets that first sparked the viral phenomenon, the 1985 studio master offers unparalleled sonic clarity, featuring: • Original Vocal Tracks: Christopher Saint Booth’s 1985 studio performance in high-fidelity quality • Authentic 1980s Production: The punchy resonance of the Linn Drum and vintage synthesizers, free from distortion and noise • Previously Unheard Elements: Musical hooks and guitar tracks that were obscured in earlier recordings. “To hold this tape in our hands is like stepping into a time machine,” said the Booth Brothers. “We knew the song lived in the hearts of fans, but we believed the physical history of that 1985 session was gone. Hearing it again in crystal-clear quality was an emotional experience bringing back the essence of the 80s, we just can’t wait to share.” From Internet Mystery to Preserved History What began as a 17-second low-quality clip uploaded to an internet forum evolved into a massive global obsession. The recovery of the master tape marks a milestone, the definitive conclusion to the “Ulterior Motives” saga, transforming the track from a lost curiosity into a preserved piece of pop history. To celebrate this historic discovery, Spooked Music Releasing has scheduled a summer release: • Ulterior Motives: The Search Is Over, The Story Begins! (DVD) (2-Disc Set) A deep, personal exploration of the viral search and the creators behind the music. • Original Soundtrack (CD) Featuring the fully restored 1985 studio master of “Ulterior Motives” alongside rare and previously unreleased archival tracks.
