The Hollies: Now’s The Time (Reconstructed) Anniversary Special The Hollies 2025-02-03 | Recorded on 15 May 1963. It was released as the B-side to the Hollies version of the song, “Stay” released in November 1963. Genre: Merseybeat, Rock ‘n’ Roll On 3 February 2018, I posted an extended mix of my own of the song “Now’s The Time.” It was my first video on this channel. Four years later, I did a deconstruction video of the song and was pooly made. It was one of my first deconstruction videos. The isolated tracks bled into eachother and did not sound great. I was unable to split the guitars and vocals properly at the time. Three years after that, with the seventh anniversary of the first video of my channel, here is another reconstruction video. It has been reconstructed with clearer tracks, improved instrumental, guitars and vocals separated and better photos.
