The group was founded in 1965 by singer Peter Tetteroo, the guitarist and bassist Gerard Romeyn and Polle Eduard and drummer Carry Janssen. This occupation is shown on the cover of the first single early in the morning. Then Robbie Plazier joined the group as an organist. With the support of the songwriter Hans von Eijck, who contributed four pieces, the album was recorded emotion. After this Albmums appear Plazier was replaced as a solid group member by van Eijck. Gerard Romeyn left the group in early 1967 and The Motions came as the successor to Robbie van Leeuwen at. Romeyn was replaced in tea set by the English guitarist Ray Fenwick.
A disagreement between Tetteroo and manager Theo Cuppens one hand, and the other band members on the other hand led to tensions in the group. In this case, the income played a role, the Cuppens had scored with the hit Do not you leave, an old blues number, for which the manager had given his own name as the author. Fenwick, Van Eijck and Edward came out and formed a new group After Tea. Carry Jansen was among this group already, so on the Photo Cover of Now 's the time a quartet is shown. To continue Tea Set, dedicated Tetteroo three new musicians from Amsterdam Group James Mean: the bassist Franklin Madjid, the drummer and the guitarist Joop Blom Ferdi Karmelk.

In the area of the members there were still changing: Dihl Bennink was new guitarist and Herman van Boeyen for some time drummer in place of Blom.
