Frank Sinatra’s That’s Life (1966): Why the Jazz Arrangements Demand the FLAC 1 Fix
“1 fix”
The phrase is insider jargon. It refers to Track 1, Side 1 – the song “That’s Life.” For decades, nearly every CD and early digital release of this album contained a catastrophic mastering error.
- Preservation: It retains every bit of the 1966 analog tape's dynamics (up to 24-bit/192kHz in modern releases).
- Phase Coherence: Unlike lossy MP3s, FLAC preserves the corrected stereo timing, allowing you to actually hear the "fix" where the bass now sits correctly in the center.
- Do not download generic MP3s. The phase error is baked into early digital transfers.
- Look for: 2008 Reprise/Rhino Remaster (24-bit/96kHz FLAC).
- Test track: "Give Her Love" (Track 5). If the double bass is audible and centered, the fix is in.
