The album is spread across two 180-gram LPs cut at 45 RPM, so the eight songs that filled two sides of the original single LP now run across four. Kevin Gray cut the lacquers at CoHearent Audio. The label describes the chain as all-analog, mastered and cut from the original master tape. The two records travel in a tip-on, old-style gatefold double-pocket jacket printed by Stoughton Printing. The Analogue Productions catalog number is APA 054-45, and the original Atlantic number, SD 7271, carries over to this release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKilling Me Softly was Roberta Flack's fourth studio album, released by Atlantic in 1973.
