This morning while on the road this one came the radio, it is one of my favourite Guess Who tracks; it is an excellent pick for the list today.
No Time was originally released on the Canned Wheat album and then was re-recorded/released on the American Woman album a year later. The original version had an into that sounded like an out-of-tune music box and the song itself is more technical musically and a bit more eclectic in its arrangement as well as being at a less than radio friendly 5:10 in length; the second version is the one that you would hear on the radio today.

Here is the original studio version off of the Canned Wheat album on YouTube.
Here is a fan video with the studio version from the American Woman album on YouTube.
Here is a live performance circa '83 on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Jerry Reed - Lord, Mr. Ford
My song pick two years ago today: Nena - Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann
