There are not any edits in the song. It's a long, drawn out fade on the promo 45 found on YouTube, posted by HitsTownUSA. The fade is 22 seconds long, and the song runs about 0.6% slower than the 4:46 version on the "Best Of" CD I have.

so, do we know if the 4:13 dj version is a quick fade or an
edit?]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2015 14:57:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=43499&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#43499 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=30248&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#30248 Author: edtop40

my commercial 45 issued as atlantic 2940 states the run time as 4:46 and does indeed run that length.....the etching on the run-out groove is "st-a-z5765-16 pp cdk"

First pressings were the edit version. Later pressings substituted the LP length version. The later pressings were also cut at reduced volume so tended towards noisy. ]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 13:04:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=16561&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#16561 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=16056&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#16056 Author: The Hits Man

I heard both versions on the same radio station in 1973, come to think of it.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 19:39:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=16056&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#16056 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=16044&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#16044 Author: eriejwg

A promo 45 I ordered came in today. Listed is 4:13, but this one fades rather quickly at 4:11...ST-4-25765-8.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 17:54:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=16044&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#16044 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15767&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#15767 Author: bwolfe

I always thought it simply faded out early.
I know I haven't heard it since 1973 so the memory maybe a bit foggy.
That's also how it was played on American Top 40.
But there were always edits of songs to make up for the
three hour show.]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:49:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15767&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#15767 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15766&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#15766 Author: Hykker

If I'm not mistaken, there was an edit in the instrumental bridge right after the acapella intro too.]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:27:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15766&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#15766 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15758&title=roberta-flackkilling-me-softly-update#15758 Author: eriejwg

Trying to recreate the 4:13 edit, but not having a 45 to go by, where does the fade starts and ends...

I remember buying the 45 which was the full version only to find my neighbor had purchased the edit you mention.
This forum is such a great resource.
Keep up the great work!
