Kids From Fame on CD


We are frequently asked about Fame music being released on CD and despite calls from Fans for all the Fame albums to be released on CD, As of 2021 only 3 official Fame TV Series CDs have been released. 

Theses are the original album and 2 compilation albums: 

The Kids From Fame 

Best of Fame

Ultimate Fame



The Kids From Fame 

The original Kids from Fame Album was released on Vinyl and Cassette by BBC/RCA Records in 1982. 

In the U.K. and Europe it was a huge selling album.

In the U.K. it is the best selling BBC album of all time selling over a million copies and reached platinum status.

Still it took until 14th October 2000 for the album to be reissued on CD. 

Released on RCA Records Catalogue Number ND90427

That would be SO AWESOME. So many great songs that never made the cut (Turn to Me, Outrun the Night, Showtime, The Other Side of the Road, just to name a few).
