I think it's because satellites were still sexy back then.

I know for certain that it was delivered on vinyl, because the station
I heard it on was illegally giving away the program discs in a weekly
contest (you had to call in on Monday night and name the Nth song on
the previous Sunday's countdown to ``win all of the songs on the
survey''), and I won it once.  Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately,
since they were legally stolen property), those discs have long since
disappeared.
