The photoshoot for the album cover took place on May 19, 2008 with photographer Warwick Saint. However, after a session with Pieter Henket in May, Gaga asked to use these photographs instead. The official album artwork for "The Fame" features Lady Gaga's face, with her [[Crystal Glasses]] and [[Disco Stick]]. Gaga explained that she wanted to portray the look of an already established artist, as she had been making music for a long time prior to her album release. The cover has been compared to an old Italian Vogue magazine from the 70s to 80s, and expresses the idea of bringing back the concept of fame.

I am sitting in a hotel room in Vietnam. Preparing to perform on the first ever American/Vietnamese broadcast since the war. It really is the perfect time to write.<br />There are so many people, places, and things that I need to thank for the success of this project. But before I begin, I need to say that each and every chemical moment of my life, every person I have spoken with, every street I have traveled, every museum, country, city, space or home that I have visited has been a profound instance and is mirrored, whether obviously or in some refracted way, in the work you see today. So if your name is not here, it is purely because this is the distilled version of my “thankyous.”<br />

Revision as of 15:42, 19 May 2018


On April 8, 2008, the album was revealed to have a fall release. However, the album was released earlier in select countries. The fall date was confirmed to be October 28, 2008 in the United States.

Title and artwork

The name of the album was revealed simultaneously with the release of "Just Dance" in April of 2008. The artwork was revealed on July 26, 2008 via her official website.

The photoshoot for the album cover took place on May 19, 2008 with photographer Warwick Saint. However, after a session with Pieter Henket in May, Gaga asked to use these photographs instead. The official album artwork for "The Fame" features Lady Gaga's face, with her Crystal Glasses and Disco Stick. Gaga explained that she wanted to portray the look of an already established artist, as she had been making music for a long time prior to her album release. The cover has been compared to an old Italian Vogue magazine from the 70s to 80s, and expresses the idea of bringing back the concept of fame. All editions of the album besides the United States version have "Lady Gaga" written in blue. The US edition used red instead.

Tracklist and release history

The tracklist was announced a few days before the release on August 19, 2008. On September 4, 2008, Gaga revealed through the Haus of Gaga blog on her official website that she intended to have a different song replacing track eight on each different localized version: "Money Honey" on the Canadian version, "Starstruck" on the US version, and the European release, "Vanity". However, only the Canadian version followed the original schedule as "Starstruck" became track nine in the US and "Vanity" was exclusively released by the online music store, Rhapsody.

Canadian and original international edition

Planned for a fall released, Gaga mentioned that they rush-produced the mastering of the album in order to release it as early as August 19, 2009.

This first set of released had a slightly different than the other release with some different photos used and the misprints on some lyrics. For example, the chorus of "Poker Face" reads: "She's goy me like nobody" instead of "She's got me like nobody". The ending of "LoveGame" is different and the introduction on this version of "Money Honey" is longer than on other releases. On select pressing, the bonus track is listed as "I Like It Rough" (non-LP version).

Liner notes

The Fame original liner notes

I am sitting in a hotel room in Vietnam. Preparing to perform on the first ever American/Vietnamese broadcast since the war. It really is the perfect time to write.
There are so many people, places, and things that I need to thank for the success of this project. But before I begin, I need to say that each and every chemical moment of my life, every person I have spoken with, every street I have traveled, every museum, country, city, space or home that I have visited has been a profound instance and is mirrored, whether obviously or in some refracted way, in the work you see today. So if your name is not here, it is purely because this is the distilled version of my “thankyous.”

Thank You
Mom, Dad, Natali, Grandma Angelina, Grandma Ronnie, Granpa Paul, Grandpa Joe, Aunt Merle and Uncle Bobby, Aunt Sheri and Uncle Steve, Aunt Carol and Uncle Doug, Laura and Jenny

– I love you.

Thank you for teaching me the importance of family, and showing me the value of always sitting down to dinner together— and never taking a bite till everyone was present. And thank you to all the women in this family,for teaching me how to be one.

A poem for Joanne

For all the words you could not say
I promise they’ll be mine,

The one you meant to marry J
I promise I will find

And when your brother calls for me
I promise I will come,

Cause when I feel that I may break
You heart, it makes mine strong”

–Stefani Joanne Germanotta
