FAME 90 RELEASED 35 YEARS AGO TODAY

“Fame. What’s your name?”

Fame 90 was released as a single in the UK on 26th March 1990, on the very day that David Bowie’s SOUND + VISION World Tour continued its globe trot with a 3-day stint at the London Arena.

CHANGESBOWIE, the best of compilation LP from which the track came, was at #2 on the official UK album chart that day, reaching the top spot later that week.

Fame 90 was released on the following formats in the UK: • 7" • Cassette • 7" Limited Edition Changes Envelope Pack with three prints • 12" • 12" Shrink Wrap Pack • CD • 7" picture disc.

Despite the formats and different mixes, not to mention a brand-new video, the single only just scraped into the Top 30.
