Isn't It Time is next single

[AM Radio]

I'm keeping an eye out.  TWGMTR was released just over a month ago so IIT will probably come out in mid-late August.

If they want it to be a hit, it would be good if they would, like, play it live.  Because they seem to have dropped it from their European shows, for some unfathomable reason.

Anything new on this? Is it still planned as a single?

[stack-o-tracks]

maybe i dreamed it, but i think the new single version is supposed to be included on the new greatest hits set coming out in september which also coincides with isn't it time being released as the new single.

[MBE]

It sounds great on the vinyl pressing, I wonder if this new version will measure up. I actually hope it's a hit though I doubt it.

It hasn't been released yet - I anticipate that it will be out by end of this month.

I wonder if Amazon and I tunes will offer new download of the new single? No listing on Amazon as yet. We are all anxious,  I imagine,  about how to get it before the 50 big ones album. Just dying to hear the added BBC voices and, I hope, David on more guitar.

I hope there will be another 7", with the instrumental on the flip again

pretty sure it's end of september.

I'm puzzled as to why, in this case and several others, second singles are released, like, five or six months after the first single? This happens so frigging often and, unfortunately, seems to totally kill initial momentum behind an album's promotion. Like, I just can't see anyone beyond us giving a sh*t about "Isn't It Time" as a single at this point even though the song is great.

Only way I'd get excited.

It sounds like a hit. I guess it depends on the way it'll be promoted. There was too much cloudiness around the TWGMTR-single release so that nobody really knew if it was released as a single or not. I think it could've been a hit as well if they'd tout it more

Agreed-  I've only just found out today that I have an outstanding order for the CD version of the TWGMTR single at amazon.de… had forgotten all about it.  According to the site it's due in December… wouldn't it be nice if they had the Christmas Number 1???

From Beach Boys Examiner:  "Also on the boards is a career-spanning 2CD box and digital collection titled “Greatest Hits: 50 Big Ones” that will include two songs from their reunion album “That’s Why God Made The Radio,” including the title track, and a new single version of “Isn't It Time.” That new version will also be issued to radio stations for airplay in September."

[GuyOnTheBeach]

I know recording of it hadn't finished by then but I think Isn't it Time should have been brought out at the end of July, it's a nice summer song without being too cliché

[Mikie]

Was listening to the "Deep Tracks" channel on Sirius/XM last night.  DJ Dan Near played the '68 version of Do It Again, then announced the next Beach Boys single and played "Isn't It Time".

i assume it was the original version?

[Mikie]

Assume they played the version off the TWGMTR album but maybe they had a CD single, I dunno.  I'm not real hot for the song myself but I was real surprised to hear it on "Deep Tracks".  Like the 60's channel though, they did play TWGMTR back in early July.

[Aegir]

in the single version the words were re-done in the bridge, like the way they play it live.

[Mikie]

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. If I woulda known that I'd have given you an accurate answer about which version I heard last night.

Thanks for the heads-up.   It's kinda rare that you hear a new Beach Boys song on the radio anyway.

I heard "Strange World" on Deep Tracks on my way to work one morning last week.

I think "Isn't It Time" is a pretty good song, but I can't agree with the consensus that it really makes for a good single.  I just can't picture hearing this song on the radio.  The quirky, mid-tempo beat is simply not "Adult Contemporary" enough.  Maybe the revised version will make it a stronger contender though.

Hopefully this doesn't sound naive, but why should they always be aiming for the adult contemporary crowd?

Because I don't think they'd fit in too well with the hip hop crowd.

lawl, I'm just Saiyan that "Isn't It Time" isn't an AC-ish track and I don't see why they'd aim that specific song at that specific crowd as a single. Or if they do really push it in that direction, they're out of their Gosh Darn minds, I guess.
