In best Columbo style:

...Just one more thing...

It occurred to me that Pink Floyd's Relics was re-issued on MFP (Music For Pleasure), so wondered if Fame and MFP were related (Others probably already know this), and indeed they are...

Internet says that Fame was a "Sub-label" of MFP in the 80s, but if you look at the MFP discography (here and elsewhere), you see MFP cat numbers go up to around the 3000 mark, then jump to 5000 cat numbers.... so there's a "Fame" sized hole (plus more) in the MFP sequence, of the right digits, so this would seem to be why Fame starts at 3001 specifically.

and what's more, some MFP cat numbers have a prefix 41, and suffix 1 around the central number... and with a few of the artist compilations appearing on both labels (Eddie Cochran, for example) the use of these appendages may be to distinguish them from each other... maybe (?)
