Prism - Over 60 Minutes With Prism: The Best Of (1991) Mp3 CBR 320 Tagged with front cover The arena rock sound from Canada's Prism dominated radio in the '70s and early '80s, and with 16 singles under their belt they were one of the forerunners amidst the multitude of other guitar rock bands. This hits collection from the "Over 60 Minutes" series gathers all of their strongest songs and reveals an excellent cross section of this talented band's musicianship. With six of their album's represented here, the purity of Ron Tabak's harsh yet powerful vocals burst from the guitar and keyboard interplay that swims behind him. The first three songs on the album, "Good to Be Back," "Don't Let Him Know," and "Cover Girl," were written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, who were good friends of the band. The song "Cover Girl" is an ode to the late Playboy playmate Dorothy Stratten who was murdered by her former boyfriend at the age of 20. Other highlights include the aloof guitar guided "Young and Restless" and the high school prom favorite "Night to Remember." Prism prove they weren't just another rock band from the West coast with "Armageddon," about the first anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. For this song, they brought in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra to play some beautifully crafted violin and cello work to mingle with the bold guitar playing. Some mesmerizing keyboard work takes command in the dazzling "Spaceship Superstar" by way of John Hall, inspired by the first Star Wars movie. The synthesizer makes up much of the group's sound, but it's used for effect rather than for rhythm, as heard on songs like "Flying" and "Take Me Away." Sometimes sounding like Jefferson Starship, Prism produced refined, chord blazing rock with high harmonies emerging from out of nowhere and crisp keyboards for coloration. Each of the 17 songs on this collection are splendid examples of pure AOR rock. ~ Mike DeGagne, All Music Guide. 1. Good to Be Back - Prism, Adams, B. 2. Don't Let Him Know - Prism, Adams, Bryan 3.

The original composition of the band was a collection of session musicians brought together by Bruce Allen, manager of Loverboy. Drummer Jim Vallance and Bruce Fairbairn had a jazz rock band named Sunshyne. They incorporated Lindsey Mitchell and Ron Tabak, and switched names to “Under Construction†(also briefly “Stanley Screamerâ€). Then, when John Hall was brought in as keyboardist, the band’s name became Prism. (See their official website at http://www.prism.ca/.)
After signing with GRT Records, they released their debut album with a lineup of Tabak, Mitchell, Lavin, Hall, Ab Bryant and Jim Vallance, who both produced, and played drums under the name of “Rodney Higgs.†Vallance did not want to tour though, so left and was replaced by Rocket Norton.
In 1977, they released their self-titled album PRISM, and it had a hit with “Spaceship Superstarâ€. The band subsequently issued See Forever Eyes (1978), after which Bryant left, and Allen Harlow was brought in as a new guitarist.
Armageddon (was released in 1979), featuring some compositional input from the then largely unknown Bryan Adams, and Young and Restless was released in 1980.
After the greatest hits album All the Best From Prism, Prism signed on with Capitol Records and after a few more lineup changes (Mitchell and Harlow went their separate ways, Tabak was fired due to “lifestyle†issues), and vocalist Henry Small was brought in), they released Small Change (1981). The lead single “Don’t Let Him Know†became their first top 40 hit in America and the follow-up “Turn on Your Radar†also charted, becoming their fifth and final American hit.

In 1982, the band’s touring line up was composed of Small, guitarist Paul Warren, bassist John Trivers, keyboardist Robyn Robbins, and Doug Maddick on drums.
The band broke up in 1982 but Beat Street followed in 1983 featuring Henry Small, Bill Champlin, Richie Zito, Mike Baird (drummer from Journey), and backup vocalists Bobby Kimball (Toto) and Alan Pasqua.
Plans for a Prism reunion with Tabak were cancelled when he died on 25 December 1984, one day after a brain hemorrhage he suffered from a cycling accident.
In 1988 they reformed for another greatest hits album called Over 60 Minutes with…Prism, and five years later another new album, Jericho (1993), with Darcy Deutsch as vocalist, Harlow, Mitchell, Norton, and keyboardist Andy Lorimer. Deutsche. Studio musicians included Bryan Adams, Paul Janz, Mark LaFrance, with Rick Springfield doing some of the songwriting.
The band has continued to tour, and is expected to release a new album Big Black Sky in 2008

Thanks : )
Thanks : )
It's cool that you could add additional information about the bands history. However, simply copying it from some other source without cactually knowing all the facts yourself really minimizes your true knowledge.
For instance, Al Harlow was part of Prism for the album See Forever Eyes, playing bass & guitar. Also, both Harlow and Mitchell were still part of the group when Small Change was released.
The band did indeed release a new album entitles Black Sky with Harlow now on lead vocals.
