Small Change is the third studio album by Tom Waits, released in 1976 on Asylum Records. It was recorded in July 1976.
Small Change is a 1976 French film directed by François Truffaut. The title translates to "Pocket Money" from French, but since there was a Paul Newman movie called Pocket Money, Steven Spielberg suggested the title Small Change for US release. In English-speaking countries outside North America the film is known as "Pocket Money". The film had a total of 1,810,280 admissions in France, making it one of Truffaut's most successful films.
Small Change is the sixth studio album by the Canadian rock band Prism. It was originally released in 1981, on the label Capitol. It was the first of two Prism studio albums with vocalist Henry Small, who had replaced Ron Tabak after his forced departure, and the last album to feature guitarist and founding member Lindsay Mitchell. The album is generally regarded as the genesis of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band's later work. The album peaked at number 53 on the Billboard 200.
On release, the album was received favorably by the majority of music critics, although it was criticized for being too commercial. This was a departure from the band's early arena rock roots, and opinions became much more negative in subsequent decades. Regardless of the criticism, Small Change became Prism's most commercially successful studio album on the Billboard 200, and it was their first and only album to the make the top 100. The lead single, " Don't Let Him Know", inspired by the Kim Carnes song " Bette Davis Eyes", was written by Jim Vallance, using his real name instead of the pseudonym Rodney Higgs that he used on previous Prism albums, and Bryan Adams. It became Prism's first and only Top 40 hit in the US and went on to peak at number 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1982. It stayed in the charts for just over four months. The follow-up single, " Turn on Your Radar", was their fifth and final single to chart, peaking at 64 on the Billboard Hot 100.
