Judith and the guys and are pretty obviously miming.
Well, of course the implication is that this *is* the session
the release is from.

Does it look like how you would expect the track could
have been recorded or would things have been arranged
completely differently?

Their lives shows were very good, almost flawless.
Actual, multi-track studio recording sessions are not like that.

My take is that Judith is singing live over a backing track that omits he voice. I know the song well and her vocal sounds to me like a fresh version.
The mysterious, never hit tambourine in the mix is a giveaway.
