NOW is the third album released by The Tubes. NOW was partially produced by John Anthony, producer of Queen and Roxy Music. John Anthony left the project after a drug induced breakdown, Bill Spooner took over and completed the project with the help of engineer Don Wood. NOW features a cover version of Captain Beefheart's "My Head is My Only House" (Unless it Rains) and Captain Beefheart also played saxophone on "Cathy's Clone." The project was intended to be a double album but delays lead to cutting several songs including a version of Gene Pitney's "Town without Pity" complete with horn arrangement by bay area comedian/musician, Dick Bright. The cover of NOW was drawn by Tubes drummer, Prairie Prince entitled "Tubes Decending a Staircase", and was inspired by a similar drawing in Time magazine of The Ramones.
