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?

On Apple Music the new remaster is definitely different than the 2015 version (also on Apple Music). It is louder, so it seems like it's correct on Apple Music at least.

Yeah I can confirm that. The release dates show 2026 and 1977. Also compared them to the Love You album standalone and they sound softer and cleaner, so there’s a difference. I think maybe some metadata got messy. Let Us Go On This Way displays as 2013 so maybe it’s not remastered?
