Smiling Phases


Smiling Phases is a two-disc 1991 compilation album by British progressive & psychedelic rock band Traffic. The title is taken from a track from their 1967 debut, Mr. Fantasy, and is meant to represent the two distinct phases of the band. Disc one covers phase one, and disc two covers phase two.
There are no new tracks on Smiling Phases, however, Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush, from the film of the same name, appears on a Traffic album for the first time. The extended version of Paper Sun is available in the US for the first time, as the single version was used for the American release of Mr. Fantasy.
