Fame and Fashion

Fame and Fashion is a compilation album by English musician David Bowie, issued in 1984 by RCA Records featuring songs recorded from 1969's David Bowie through 1980's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).

The subtitle "David Bowie's All-Time Greatest Hits" appears along with the title on LP and cassette labels, as well as on the CD face and inserts.

After Bowie left RCA Records in the early 1980s, RCA, wishing to continue to capitalize on Bowie's immense popularity at the time, continued to release compilation albums without his permission or input.

In addition, on both the LP's second side and the corresponding tracks on the CD, the original stereo channels are swapped.

[4] Soon after the release of this album and the reissue of his entire RCA album catalog on compact disc, Bowie reclaimed the rights to his recordings and his entire RCA catalog went out of print until Bowie struck a deal with Rykodisc to reissue his recordings, beginning in 1989.
