🎉 Jem and the Holograms Turns 40 — And She's More Truly Outrageous Than Ever!

Can you believe it’s been 40 years since Jem and the Holograms first lit up our TV screens with neon glam, synth-pop hits, and holographic magic? It feels like just yesterday we were watching Jerrica Benton transform into Jem with the help of Synergy. Now, in 2025, Jem is celebrating her big 4-0 — and she’s doing it in style!

Whether you were glued to the screen in the ‘80s or discovered Jem through reruns and fandom love, there’s something truly exciting about what’s happening this year. Not only are we getting anniversary tributes, but for the first time ever, official music from the show is being released on streaming platforms and vinyl! And yes — it’s outrageous.

💿 Vinyl Dreams Come True: 40th Anniversary Record Release

To honor this milestone, Hasbro has teamed up with Enjoy The Ride Records and other partners to release a limited-edition vinyl album celebrating Jem and the Holograms. Here’s why fans are flipping their wigs:

What’s on the Record?

The anniversary vinyl features 25 tracks, including:

• Background instrumentals and score pieces from the original animated series.

• Six re-recorded songs sung by none other than Britta Phillips, the original voice of Jem! These include fan favorites like:

  • “Truly Outrageous”

  • “Like A Dream”

  • “Only The Beginning”

  • “She’s Got The Power”

  • “I Got My Eye On You”

  • A refreshed Jem theme song

Because the original masters are tied up in legal limbo, the team brought Britta back to re-record the vocals — a move that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

Collector’s Eye Candy

The vinyl comes in several collectible editions, including:

• Pink vinyl in a deluxe gatefold jacket with exclusive new artwork.

• The ultra-rare “Truly Outrageous Swirl” variant, limited to just 500 copies — a must-have for hardcore fans.

• An ETR Exclusive edition and a few retailer variants, some already sold out and popping up on resale sites.

👀 Where to Find It (Before It’s Gone!)

These are limited pressings, and they’re already flying off shelves (and websites). Here are a few places where fans have spotted them:

• Enjoy The Ride Records (official partner)

• Spin City Records – home of the rare swirl edition

• CDs Vinyl Japan – for international collectors

• Resale platforms like eBay and Discogs (but be ready to pay collector prices)

If you spot one in the wild, don’t wait — because Jem fans are snatching them up faster than you can say “Showtime, Synergy!”

🧡 Fandom Feelings: A Mix of Joy and Drama

Like any major fandom moment, there’s been a mix of reactions:

• Joy over finally having official Jem music to own and stream.

• Frustration over how limited some editions are — many fans missed the 500-copy swirl variant.

• Debates about the re-recordings vs. the original tracks — but most agree it’s magical to hear Britta Phillips return to the spotlight.

Regardless, the 40th anniversary has brought a wave of excitement and nostalgia that’s uniting fans old and new.

✨ Final Thoughts

Whether you're a vinyl junkie, an ‘80s kid, or just discovering Jem’s legacy, this 40th anniversary is the perfect time to revisit the world of glam rock, girl power, and glitter. The limited-edition vinyl is more than just a record — it’s a love letter to the fans, and a piece of Jem history you can actually hold.

So crank up the volume, throw on your best pink jacket, and let’s toast to 40 years of Jem and the Holograms — because some icons never go out of style.

Stay truly outrageous! 💖
