C. Schitz Popinov Why do you force me to choose just one track.
I've come to realize the whole album is great.
Much nostalgic love from 1992
I'm happy I got around to fer-finally giving this whole album my undivided attention in the summer of 2021. Favorite track: Before and Beyond.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Label Obscura is proud to announce the upcoming reissue of one of the most important Toronto independent rock albums of the nineties. This Summer, Change Of Heart’s seminal 1992 album Smile will finally see its first release on vinyl, as a double LP.

    Originally released twenty-five years ago this summer by Cargo Records, Smile is a sprawling, twenty-one song album which was recorded in early January, 1992 at Toronto’s Reaction Studios. Cut over 4 days live off the floor with no overdubs, Smile was originally envisioned to be released as a double record, much like many of the classic records that influenced its creation, including the Minutemen’s Double Nickels on the Dime and Husker Du’s Zen Arcade, but due to budgets constraints at Cargo it was only ever released on compact disc and cassette.

    Re-assembled and remastered from the original master tapes by album producer Michael-Philip Wojewoda, Smile will be available as as a limited edition on coloured vinyl (sold out) and black vinyl, limited to 300 copies. The reissue will also include new liner notes, featuring interviews with founding band members Rob Taylor and Ian Blurton.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Smile via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
