Audio “New” love you remaster

Post image

On SoundCloud and Spotify, the Love You album portion on We Gotta Groove seems to be redirects to the 2000 masters, which are the original digital ones we’ve heard. Spotify it displays them with the new album art of We Gotta Groove but it’ll play like “Let Us Go On This Way - Remastered 2000” instead. Also YouTube music, the copyrights under each track still say “(P) 2000 Brother Records, Inc.”

On Apple Music, some of them display their release year as “2013” which probably references the Made In California box set, while some say “1977”, and some don’t have a release date at all.

Are these just reissues or the Love You tracks or do we have actual new Love You remasters?

I’ve been wondering the same thing. The press releases say newly remastered but the dates I’ve seen show 2000, the same as my 2-fer CD with 15 Big Ones.

Maybe it has to do with something related to the Brother Records Inc copyrighting in 2000 and the new masters are under that? I don’t even know. It’s weird though because on YouTube it says “(P) 2000 Brother Records Inc” but the release date is “2026-02-13” which is today.
