"Fame and Fashion" is a David Bowie compilation album issued in 1984 by RCA Records featuring songs recorded between 1969's David Bowie and 1980's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps). After Bowie left RCA Records in 1983, RCA, wishing to capitalize on his immense popularity at the time, continued to release compilation albums without his permission or input. 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 album catalog went out of print, until it was first reissued by Rykodisc, beginning in 1989.
~Wikipedia
The 1984 collection Fame & Fashion rounds up 12 hits from the previous decade and a half, concentrating on the relatively recent recordings (roughly half of this dates from Station to Station on); it also contains "1984," which may not have been a big hit but it surely fit the year of this release. This is hardly definitive "Ziggy Stardust" and "Suffragette City" are absent, for starters but as samplers go it isn't bad, as there isn't a bad song here. Sure could have used a more attractive album cover, though.
