Recording dates, studio, producer, arranger and engineer per Wikipedia's article on the album. Key, tempo and time signature are software-detected rather than documented, and detectors routinely confuse a key with its relative major or minor — treat them as a starting point, not a fact about the session. The same recording is also analysed at 186 BPM, double the value shown.
