Forty years ago, Jem and the Holograms picked up their mics and instruments for a series that continues to delight people of all ages today. Jem lasted for three seasons and 65 episodes, and over that span of time the show managed to firmly cement itself in the “beloved” sector of pop culture history. On its surface it seems like a silly children’s program with lots of pink and ‘80s pop rock music. But, the show is both weirder and more emotionally resonant than what it appears alongside those unforgettable jams. Speaking of jams, Hasbro is celebrating the show’s big anniversary with a brand-new Jem and the Holograms album.

It includes six re-recorded tracks from the series and is available both on vinyl and digital. The collection includes the singing voice of Jem herself, Britta Phillips, which makes this even better. And yes, the theme song that we all love is on this album along with “Only The Beginning,” “Truly Outrageous,” “Like A Dream,” “I Got My Eye On You,” and “She’s Got The Power.”

So grab your ‘80s gear, an old-school microphone, and maybe a can of hairspray, and get ready to rock out with one of the coolest all-girl bands of all-time. The album is available on several platforms like Spotify as well as online for vinyl purchases. And, if you really wanna celebrate more Jem goodness, there’s an accessory collection at Loungefly and a slate of new dolls from The Loyal Subjects. Jem is excitement, indeed.

And, check out our recent Laser Focus episode, where yours truly and podcast host Kyle Anderson chat about how Jem and the Holograms truly aged like fine wine. It’s streaming on Tubi so if you’re looking for something that involves criminal behavior, sci-fi, and found family, go for it!
