Small Change is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band Prism, released in December 1981 by Capitol Records.
The lead single, "Don't Let Him Know", inspired by the Kim Carnes song "Bette Davis Eyes",[2] was written by Jim Vallance, using his real name instead of the pseudonym Rodney Higgs that he used on previous Prism studio albums, and Bryan Adams.
As the band were thinking about recording their follow-up to the poorly received commercial disappointment Young and Restless in December 1980, Ron Tabak was fired.
Various reasons have been cited, including his conflicts with other band members, several run-ins with the law and/or a lack of songwriting ability.
He added that "The vocals are toned down, the extravagance of the horns and synthesizers are absent and the songs reflect a more adult-oriented feel.
