"On Time" is a song written byMaurice Gibb and recorded by theBee Gees; it was released on 14 January 1972 as theB-side of the single "My World".
It was recorded on 21 October 1971 inLondon, the day that they finished the song "Alive", which was included on their 1972 albumTo Whom It May Concern. The swamp rocker "On Time" was one of Maurice's favourites, this being the first of three recordings he made of it. Maurice and guitarist Alan Kendall share a few tracks of acoustic and electric guitars, accompanied by Geoff Bridgford ondrums and string arrangement by Bill Shepherd that should not fit in, but does. Maurice later described this number as his "Swamp period".[1]
"On Time" was only available on vinyl until it was included in the 1990 box setTales from the Brothers Gibb.[2] The single was released as a double A in theUK,Mexico,Spain and inYugoslavia. In Mexico, the song was released under the title "A Tiempo".[3] The song was released in 1971 in other countries like France, Germany and Italy.[4]
