Prism is the debut album by Canadian rock band Prism,[2] released in May 1977 on the Canadian record label GRT. It was produced primarily by Bruce Fairbairn, and the majority of songs were written by Jim Vallance (who also served as co-producer on three 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.

"Spaceship Superstar" became the band's signature song and a staple of Canadian rock radio.[2] Record producer Bruce Fairbairn and songwriter Jim Vallance both went on to achieve huge international success.
