Tarney Spencer Band - No Time To Lose (Remastered Sound and Video HD)

Love this song. No one had a good quality video with the original track. All the tracks out here have the radio edit/video edit, which at the time, there wasn't MTV. Not sure what the roller bladers have to do with anything, but, it is was a good way to fill the gaps on the radio edit to make the studio version work. Remastered the track a bit. Sounds more full, with some bottom end. Enjoy!

Australian band. Classic case of a great tune that slipped through the cracks. As a Southern California, FM DJ most of my life, I played this not only when it came out, but as sort of a "Ringer" song years later at other stations because it was a great tune the competition missed and had forgotten about. Whenever I played it, I always had listeners calling asking who it was? Has that great 70s energy and licks. We still play it today and the same thing happens.

[@82sweetheart]

I love this song!! Love how it makes me feel ~ how it drifts me back to a time in my life when time really didn't matter ~ it defines summer to me and all that mattered was hanging out with good friends at the skating rink and having a good time ~ now time is catching up to me....and there really is 'no time to lose' ~

I was born in 1986, so of course most of my early memories are from the 90s. While I know those that grew up in the 70s have a much deeper experience of that decade, I still feel like this song and video invites me in to that decade for a little bit. That’s a sign on how you know it’s a good song…it can take people like me and invite them to that decade for a bit, while those that grew up in the 70s can continue to reflect on that decade with songs like this. Hopefully this made some sort of sense.
