what does "remastered" even mean?

A master tape is the song recorded in the studio which will then be replicated and distributed. A remaster means you make a new one of those. Often that can mean just re-recording (a lot of Taylors remasters do this) or it can mean you totally change the music. There's never a situation where you can't get the old version though. Just buy the old CD/vinyl/tape/whatever that comes from the master you like.
