It means a new master is made from the original tapes.

Remastering of digital source files can still take place. The original
need
not ever have been on tape.

I was using "tapes" as a metaphor. In most cases, though, when we see
remasters it is from tape, not from digital.

Not always these days. And even the term "original tapes" can have a vast
number of meanings. You could even include early digital recordings made to
video tape I guess. Certainly most CD's fail to mention the exact source of
the material used for "remastering". And some albums have been "remastered"
so many times even the fans can't keep track. Pink Floyd's "DSotM" being one
example.

With the Gold Master release (CBS?) of that being the best I have.
Haven't been out looking though either. Haven't seen it in a while
either...
