Time is Tight. Booker T & the MG's. Cover by Phil McGarrick. FREE TABS

"Time Is Tight" is an instrumental recorded by Booker T. & the M.G.'s for their soundtrack to the 1968 film UpTight.

The group recorded two versions of the track – the shorter (3:14), slower version was released as a single in 1969, and became one of the biggest hits of the group's career, peaking in the US charts at 7 R&B and 6 Pop and reaching number 1 in South Africa. The longer (4:55) version (which was included on the official soundtrack album) is played at a faster tempo than the single version, and features an extended introduction and an instrumental 'breakdown' section, neither of which was included in the single version.
