They used to play this song at the roller rink when I was in the 8th grade. I didn't get to the record store in time before they were all sold out. Then I spent the next 20 years looking for the record! No one could find it. I'm glad I finally can listen to it whenever I like now - brings back many memories. Thanks!
Boy those sure were great times!! It to bad that we have to get old,I don't people today appreciate this music!! Maybe they never slow danced to songs like "THIS TIME"--TOO BAD --THEIR LOSS!!!!
WHAT-A-MEMORY...got the record at a 2nd hand store but that's not the reason it's one of those hits from the doowop era that has a impact on me...like The Image of a Girl or Skip and Flip and It was I....there are some songs that really mean something more than just a great tune that I like to hear over and over &again and this is one of them! thx4 postin'
Wow, I thought I knew just about every 50s/early 60s hit song there was until last night! I never heard this before until last night on the radio and instantly fell in love with this song!!!
I always especially loved this song, and have the 45 rpm record I bought back then. The whole feel and beauty of the song is ruined, here, unfortunately, by that dubbed in, pedestrian and kind of finky guitar in the instrumental break. Please post the real version with just the truly feelingful piano. (The original guitar at the beginning and end are, as always, fine.)
This is not the 1961 version (Goldcrest 161-A) which had a ragged, but forceful, piano solo at the spot where this one has dubbed a guitar break over it. This is said to be the official Troy Shondell site - if so, it looks as if Mr Shondell is trying to change history - why be so petty?
this song brings back memories of my time in the army in 1961. Came home to Philly to see my girl on a 3 day pass from Ft Knox, Ky. Stopped at a small diner in Zanesville, Ohio on a Fri nite and some guy kept playing this on the jukebox. I think of that nite whenever I hear this song. Thanks for the post and memory
the flip side in canada at least is called girl after girl , though they never played it on the radio , i used to flip the 45 over and play it just as often as this time , it s a neat song too , plus i never had that many records at that time. the ORIGINAL version of this time was done by thomas wayne in 1959.
It's amazing that Gene Vincent's band backed him up.....in a way, he sounded like Gene. See the 1999 "live" version---I immediately thought of Gene Vincent--maybe what Gene would have looked and sounded like, had he not died so young.
I LIVE IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, AND WHEN I WAS ONLY13 YEARS OF AGE, THIS RECORD WAS THE 'HORRIBLE HIT OF THE WEEK' AND BECAME MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE....STAN THE MAN WAS THE DISC JOCKEY, AND ALTHOUGH HE WAS THE BEST, HE GOT IT WRONG THIS TIME.
My Mom actually named me after Troy Shondell. She said she hadn't thought of a name yet and was looking through some of her old records and came across "This Time" which she loved. After she told me that, I just had to have an album by my namesake. Made a call to a friend of mine, who's an avid collector,and I now have an original album in my possession. I've probably had it now 20 years. Wouldn't think of parting with it.
The Guitar Solos is okay, but th e orginal version is cleaner and more correct, Those were the days and I am glad I was there when they were rolling on. Cheers!
