Now Is the Time
''Now Is the Time'' is the second studio album by Alanis Morissette, released only in Canada in August 1992 (see 1992 in music). It was the final album for MCA Records Canada. Morissette recorded the album with Leslie Howe, who produced her debut album, ''Alanis'' (1991).

In 1995 Morissette released her Grammy winning-international acclaimed debut album ''Jagged Little Pill'' through U.S. label Maverick Records. Executives at Maverick persuaded MCA Records to withdraw all copies of ''Alanis'' and ''Now Is the Time'' from circulation, and they did not mention either album in the promotional material for ''Jagged Little Pill''.〔Ashare, Matt. ("Platinum Bomb?" ). ''The Boston Phoenix''. November 2, 1998. Retrieved August 19, 2006.〕 According to ''Spin'' magazine, Morissette's transformation from "the Debbie Gibson of Canada" to an alternative rock musician made some Canadians skeptical.〔Hannaham, James. ("Alanis In Wonderland" ). ''Spin''. November 2, 1995. Retrieved August 20, 2006.〕 As with ''Alanis'', ''Now Is the Time'' is no longer in print. Morissette's contract with MCA expired after the release of the album, and she said "It was kind of a blessing that it was over, because I wanted to start out with a clean slate, not only personally but career-wise, too."〔 ''Time'' magazine called the album "uninspired", and the song "Rain" "wistful",〔Farley, Christopher John. ("Confessional Immediacy" ). ''Time''. November 2, 1998. Retrieved August 19, 2006.〕 while ''The Kansas City Star'' labelled it "a lightweight faux Madonna album".〔Finn, Timothy. ("'Pill' not so jagged in new acoustic release" ). ''The Kansas City Star''. July 5, 2005. Retrieved August 20, 2006.〕
Morissette said of ''Alanis'' and ''Now Is the Time'', "...I'm not scared people might hear these records. I never did ''Playboy'' centerfolds. There's nothing I regret. Maybe people will just understand that my lyrics are from different experiences if they hear those records. It validates (Little Pill'' ) ... There was an element of me not being who I really was at the time and now i'm more experienced with my life. It was because I wasn't prepared to open up that way. The focus for me then was entertaining people and getting my feet wet in the business, it was about being young & having fun as opposed to sharing any revelations I had at the time. I had them, but I wasn't prepared or comfortable with sharing them."
She considered including material from both albums on her 2005 compilation ''The Collection'', but she was talked out of it and decided against it citing the genres dance/pop would not match other material from her current discography, explaining:〔Wild, David. ("Adventures Of Miss Thing" ). ''Rolling Stone''. November 2, 1995. Retrieved August 19, 2006.〕 "it was right around when I was 19 and ''Jagged Little Pill'' where I first felt writing was a channeled experience. That has a lot to do with where I was at then, with having met Glen Ballard, with my moving from Canada and moving away from any preconceived notions of how songs 'should' be written. It was the beginning of a new way to approach songwriting altogether."〔("Official Biography" ). Maverick Records. Retrieved August 19, 2006.〕
