   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.
