The demo version features alternate lyrics, different mixing and additional vocals by Outsidaz, it was released by accident on this CDS: www.discogs.com/release/737670-Fugees-Killing-Me-Softly
It was supposed to be the album version judging by the liner notes, and the songwriters Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox also refused to let Fugees release this song with changed lyrics. (Source: pitchfork.com/thepitch/1027-inside-fugees-the-score-20-years-later-with-its-collaborators/ )
I recently got the multitrack of Roberta Flack's version and I've been wanting to mix her and the Fugees' version for a long while so I added the bass, guitar and keys. I did a mix with the album version previously as well but the keys it has during the bridge & outro didn't fit with the added instruments, I tried mixing the demo version instead since it doesn't have those keys and it turned out a lot better.
Enjoy! I got some more Fugees mixes if y'all are interested?
