Originally released in 1957, Just One Of Those Things has become a standout title in the Nat King Cole library because the theme is comparable to Frank Sinatra’s swing albums of the same time period and employs the same arranger and conductor, Billy May. The reissue of this classic was mixed and mastered by Steve Hoffman from the original three-track session masters. The lacquers were cut at AcousTech Mastering by Kevin Gray with plating and pressing at RTI.
"...Hoffman remixed from the original 3 track master tape, cutting way back on the reverb to produce a positively stunning studio document from the golden age of analog recording...Don't let the 1957 date throw you: this recording has the goods - it's spacious, three-dimensional, and immediate...All in all Just One of Those Things is a great re-issue, filled with classic music making from all involved. It will never date and was thus worthy of a 2004 release. It's never sounded better. Either cutting engineer Kevin Gray or Hoffman scribed into the dead wax 'Nat Lives!' This disc is the proof. Highly recommended for both music and sound." Music = 10/11; Sound = 10/11 - Michael Fremer, www.musicangle.com
