I can vaguely recall the arrival of Fame. Yes, it is EMI, and until then their main budget label was mfp. In the early 1980s (synthesisers, New Romantics and all that) mfp was looking decidedly naff, with its "Hot Hits" and Mrs Mills-type legacy. I assumed then, and still do, that Fame was an attempt to launch a more respectable seeming label, and break from the image of mfp. As I understand, it was for re-issues of EMI material, and stuff they controlled like UK Motown. If there can be a budget label with street cred, then this was supposed to be it.

Wasn't it just the case that MFP was their budget label, and Fame was their "mid price" label? (Not certain)
