"Time Has Come Today" is a hit single by the American soul group the Chambers Brothers, written by Willie & Joe Chambers. The single was released in 1968, recorded in 1966 and released on the album ''The Time Has Come'' in November 1967. Although the single never quite reached the top ten in America, spending five weeks at No. 11 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the fall of 1968, it is now considered one of the landmark rock songs of the psychedelic era. Various effects were employed in its recording and production, including the alternate striking of two cow bells producing a "tick-tock" sound, warped throughout most of the song by reverb, echo and changes in tempo. It also quotes several bars from “The Little Drummer Boy” at 5:40 in the long version. The song blends a fusion of psychedelic rock, soul〔 and acid rock with its use of the guitar's fuzz/distortion. ==Released single versions== *1966 original version – Columbia 43816 - the original recording, 2:37 in length, which is completely different from the widely known 1968 "hit version". *1968 "hit version" #1 – Columbia 44414 – 3:05 edit of the Lp version.
