Prism is the self-titled debut album by Canadian rock band Prism.[2] It was released in May 1977 on the Canadian record label GRT. It was produced primarily by Bruce Fairbairn and the majority of songs written by Jim Vallance (he also served as co-producer on two tracks).[3] It achieved platinum status in Canada (in excess of 100,000 units sold).[4] Prism peaked at #137 on the Billboard 200 in November 1977.
