Re-mastered LP question


I have recently purchased the RCA Hefitez Box Set from Classic Records. One of the records is the Beethoven Violin Concerto (LSC 1992), which I also have the original 1963 pressing. What puzzles me is that the music grooves on the 1963 pressing covered the entire surface of both sides but the newly re-mastered one only covered about 2/3 of the surfaces.

Does anyone have a good explanation for this?

Perhaps the cutter lathe technology has improved allowing the grooves to be placed closer together.
