   It just means that it is "re-mixed". There's a lot you can do   
   in between the original recording tracks and the final   
   resulting media (CD). The "master" recording normally includes   
   multiple tracks.   
      
   Something really ancient will be 1-track (mono) and an   
   entirely different process: more of an audio processing   
   challenge to remove pops and clicks etc. without killing the   
   original performance.
