In 1982, the band's touring line-up was Small, guitarist Paul Warren, bassist John Trivers, keyboardist Robyn Robbins, and Doug Maddick on drums. Although the band had essentially broken up by the end of 1982, Small decided to continue recording as a solo artist but using the Prism name. He assembled a group of session musicians including Richie Zito, Alan Pasqua, Mike Baird with backing vocalists such as Bill Champlin of Chicago, Bobby Kimball of Toto and Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles to assist him. Together, this ad hoc line-up released the studio album Beat Street under the Prism name in 1983. The album was not a commercial success and failed to have any charting singles in Canada. Small, by now the band's only member, was dropped from his label, and essentially retired from using the Prism name in early 1984, and the 'band' became defunct. Until it reformed without his participation.
