"I have both of these records on vinyl, but this is the first time that they are available on CD. Both of these are almost impossible to find, so I would grab them while you can, I did. The music is early 80s hard/pop rock. I remember when this came out in 1981-82. It was very good then, and it's still very good now. It's better than anything new that you will hear on the radio today. The band is from Canada, and they had a long list of hits throughout the late seventies and early eighties. I suggest you check out their other CDs. They rock also, especially the first one entitled "Prism" and the third one called "Armageddon." Their original singer Ron Tabak died and was replaced by Henry Small who does a great job on these two CDs. The first song "Don't let him know" was co-written by Bryan Adams. Enjoy!"

Prism's Beat Street one of 1983's best

"Prism's "Is He Better Than Me" and "I Don't Want to Want You Anymore," from the band's Beat Street LP, were popular during the fall of 1983, when I was attending night classes at the community college and rebuilding my 'Cuda's 383. (And through it all I still managed to keep up with my record buying!) In 1988 Prism vocalist Henry Small joined Who bassist John Entwistle in the John Entwistle Band. Small and Entwistle appeared on Rockline (Bob Coburn's syndicated radio show) in July of '88 and played several demos; the tracks, to my ear, sounded uninspired and formulaic, which may explain why this version of Entwistle's band never got a record deal."
