DAVID BOWIE Fame & Fashion 1984 RCA 1st Press AFL14919 Heroes Space Oddity NM/NM

Fame and Fashion (David Bowie's All Time Greatest Hits) is a 1984 RCA compilation pulling together twelve singles from Bowie's most transformative decade, opening with 1969's "Space Oddity" and closing with 1980's "Ashes To Ashes." The track list moves through Ziggy Stardust-era glam ("Starman," "Changes"), the Philadelphia soul turn of "Young Americans" and "Fame," and the Berlin trilogy's "Heroes" — widely regarded as one of his defining songs. All twelve tracks are drawn from the original studio masters rather than alternate edits.

This is the original 1984 US pressing on RCA Victor, catalog AFL1-4919, manufactured at RCA's Indianapolis plant — confirmed by the "I" mould/SID stamp in the deadwax. This catalog number saw one US vinyl release, so there's no separate reissue to distinguish from; this is the era-correct original.

Mastered in-house; no individual engineer is credited on the label.

Production credits vary by track, reflecting each song's original studio era: Gus Dudgeon ("Space Oddity"), Ken Scott with Bowie ("Changes," "Starman"), Bowie himself ("1984"), Tony Visconti ("Young Americans," "Heroes," "D.J.," "Fashion," "Ashes To Ashes"), and Harry Maslin ("Fame," "Golden Years," "TVC 15").

The cover features Anton Corbijn's close-up profile photograph of Bowie with the stylized Fame and Fashion logo and Digitally Remastered branding worked into the artwork. Labels are the standard grey RCA Victor design with the Nipper trademark.
