"Time Is Time" is a song written by Andy and Barry Gibb. Andy Gibb performs this song and was released as a single in November 1980 and included on Andy Gibb's Greatest Hits. The B-side, "I Go for You" was originally from his 1978 album Shadow Dancing.
Background and release
"Time Is Time" is recorded in the middle of 1980 at the Middle Ear Studios in Miami Beach. It was credited to Andy himself with his brother Barry, but Andy said later that it was his own composition with one change in it by Barry. Its full ending, when the musicians stop, Andy continues to sing few more words, and drummer Ron Ziegler hits the hi-hat again, but when it was released, it ends with the fadeout.[1]
The song reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 29 on the US Adult Contemporary chart in 1980.[2] The song appeared on his 1980 album, Andy Gibb's Greatest Hits and was the first single and one of the new songs on that album.[3] as well as 2010's Mythology box set. The song was produced by Barry Gibb, Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson.[4]
It was edited for its single release with one less repeat of the chorus at the end. When it was appeared for the first time in CD format through the compilation Andy Gibb it fades out early at 3:41.[1]
