There's a notice in Billboard magazine, dated 15 May 1982, saying the Fame label was due to be launched "later this month". See here, page 63:

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JSQEAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=billboard+1982&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9aGWVbSFHKrA7AbQ9InwAg&ved=0CGUQ6AEwEQ#v=onepage&q=billboard%201982&f=false

Anyone brave enough could trawl though other editions on Google books to see if any of the releases are noted as they go.

Here's another one: a source saying "Beatles Oldies But Goldies" was released on Fame on October 31, 1983, which disagrees with what we have at the moment (October 24). It also says the label was then 18 months old, pointing back to around May 1982 again for the very start...
