As much as I adore the work of Gordon Jenkins, I am partial to the arrangements and conducting skills of Billy May...His work for Cole on this 1957 release resulted in one of the swingin'est track selections in the Cole cannon." Sound Quality = 96% out of 100% - Ken Kessler, HiFi News

Contrasting downbeat ballads with an ironic brassy, upbeat big-band attitude, the brilliant and expressive work of vocalist Nat King Cole and arranger Billy May here is one for the ages. 1957's Just One Of Those Things is a classic collection that perfectly captures the inherent experience of love and disillusionment. On par with Frank Sinatra's period albums, the set swings effortlessly and lightly, as Cole brings a fine, unhurried touch to uptempo standards and jazz-based pop material.

Never before has this record sounded so sumptuous, with every detail and nuance restored in a manner that places you in the recording studio with Cole. Mastered from the original three-track analog tapes at Acoustech by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray for an unparalleled sonic experience.

This means you will be able to hear the real deal plus a surround and stereo mix of these legendary albums. By real deal I mean the close-miked mono creation, done live in Capitol Tower Studios A & B along with the "upstairs" control room creation, the stereo versions with a different set of microphones and parameters. This is very exciting to me. These mono versions have been out of print since the 1960's and we will use the original mono reels, mastered flat to DSD via the awesome Grimm A/DSD converter." - Steve Hoffman

Included with this deluxe reissue is a 2,200-word essay by Jordan Taylor about the album.

This hybrid SACD is playable as follows: A three-channel SACD section includes all songs listed in the tracks section except for the alternate take of "Just For The Fun Of It," which was recorded in Mono. There is a Stereo SACD section with all songs in stereo except for the alternate take of "Just For The Fun Of It," which was recorded in Mono. There is a Mono SACD section with all songs included. The Stereo CD section includes the same content as the SACD Stereo section and the Mono CD section includes all songs

For this deluxe hybrid SACD, both mono and stereo versions are available in standard resolution on the CD layer and in high resolution on the DSD stereo layer, while the stereo versions are also available in high resolution 3-channel sound on the DSD multi-channel layer. Also included in 3-channel, stereo and mono is a superb track recorded for the album, "You'll Never Know," which was omitted due to space constraints - this release is the very first ever of the original mono version! In addition a 2,200-word essay by Jordan Taylor about the album is included. No expense was spared to make this the ultimate digital version of this album and a historic reissue.

"Listening to Nat King Cole in 3-channel DSD from hard disk… and yes, those are the same three speakers that were used for the mastering. The sound of the DSD playback via EMM Labs multi-channel was simply unbelievable... As a long-time Nat King Cole fan, I was knocked out by the amazing quality of the DSD masters." - David W. Robinson, www.positive-feedback

"Recorded in 1957, Just One Of Those Things is a superb homage to swing/big band music. Arranger Billy May’s precise charts are a perfect complement to Cole’s singing." - Sound 5/5 Audiophile Audition
