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 \u201cbeloved\u201d sector of pop culture history. On its surface it seems like a silly children\u2019s program with lots of pink and \u201880s 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\u2019s big anniversary with a brand-new Jem and the Holograms album.<\/p>\n
R&CPMK for Hasbro<\/p>\n
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 \u201cOnly The Beginning,\u201d \u201cTruly Outrageous,\u201d \u201cLike A Dream,\u201d \u201cI Got My Eye On You,\u201d and \u201cShe\u2019s Got The Power.\u201d<\/p>\n
