I'm the Fixer was recorded during a time in which R&B pioneer Willie Mabon was thought to have passed his prime, yet his sly vocals and chunky piano playing remain ever-present in these studio cuts from the early 1960s. Including the iconic title track, as well as favourites such as Got to Have Some and That's No Big Thing, this collection revisits the diverse work of this early crossover artist.
44.1 kHz / 24-bit PCM – USA Records Studio Masters

This album is a high-resolution digital transfer of material originating from an analogue master source. It may contain noise, distortion or other artifacts, and may also contain audio which is limited in bandwidth or dynamic range, due to the technology used at the time of its original creation. As such, it is offered as a high-resolution documentation of a historical release.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
