                                 "The Time Is Now"
                                  (Neil  Diamond)
                                   Neil  Diamond
        B-side of "Kentucky Woman" and "Solitary Man" (1970 re-issue) 45's

Note: This song is in a very slow, swing-like tempo, so it sounds like 6/8,
which
      is how I'm writing this.
