'''''Changing All the Time''''' is the second [studio album](/source/studio_album) by the English [rock](/source/Rock_music) band [Smokie](/source/Smokie_(band)), released in September 1975.<ref name = "Phil Hendriks">{{Cite AV media notes | title = Changing All the Time | others = [Smokie](/source/Smokie_(band)) | year = 2007 | last = Hendriks | first = Phil | page = 3 | type = booklet | publisher = [7T's Records](/source/7T's_Records) (GLAM CD 37) | location = London}}</ref>

Early pressings of the album had been made with the band's original name "Smokey", but in November 1975 it was announced that the name would be altered to "Smokie" in order to avoid confusion with soul legend [Smokey Robinson](/source/Smokey_Robinson). All later copies of the album would bear the changed spelling.<ref name = "Phil Hendriks" />
