More Roberta Flack
- This vintage pressing boasts a KILLER Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) side one mated to an outstanding Double Plus (A++) side two
- Hard to find them quiet, though – this is a notoriously noisy album
- There’s Tubey Magic, sweetness and spaciousness all over this recording – when it all comes together on “Where Is The Love” on side two, you won’t believe how good it sounds
