While perusing the CD section of the local disk emporium, my eye
befell a couple of CDs of early Stones records, with the flag
"Digitally Re-mastered" plastered across the front. My question is,
what, if anything, does this mean??
The original recordings were clearly not digital, as this phrase
seems to acknowledge.  Are they trying to say that a new master was
produced from live musicians? (highly unlikely)  That it was digitally
re-mixed?  (also seems improbable)  Can anyone explain this to me??
