Grey's Anatomy star and photographer Brad Everett Young was one of our own. Love him or hate him, he was the founder of “Jem’s Space” on myspace.com. He shared some great photography of Jem dolls, fashions, and prototypes. The information was not always correct, because his main source didn’t really have a connection to the Jem line. He is a devastating loss to the Jem community.

A third version of this cassette says "Made in U.S.A." on the Side B, and the Jealousy spelling fixed.
   
It seems that after the mail in offer was done, the cassettes where sent to may stores and given free with purchase. Some stores even sold them for a dollar or so. I purchased mine from Bergner's Department Store for a dollar.
   
The Canadian version of the cassette has the songs in English on one side. French versions of the songs replaces the instrumentals from the US cassettes. Jealousy is spelled correctly.

TheMitigating borrowed my cassette, so the French versions can be heard here.
The Canadian version with English on one side and the instrumental on the other. I was thinking these were sold in the US, but this one is from Canada. The US may have gotten some of the Canadian over stock. "Jealousy" is spelled correctly.

Here's Your JEM Rebate Check and 2 Other Outrageous Offers!

When you got your check by mail it came with two more special offers: Rama Llama and the Dream Tour cassette offer. The outside pages are made of a kind of carbon paper, so that the check inside could be printed while it was sealed. If my memory service me right, there was a check on a folded piece of paper. So the check and the Dream Tour Cassette offer had to be torn apart. I cashed the check, and I think I sent in the tape offer ... because its not with the rest of my Jem items. As you can see I got a check for $6.00 on 5/25/88. So by the time I got the check it was too late to get the Rama Llama, I'm not sure about the Dream Tour Cassette expiration date.

Rama also became a My Little Pony mail-in offer after Jem was canceled.

JEM Rockin' Refund
JEM Rockin' Refund

Now I'm not sure if this really was a promotion for Jem or just a planned promotion. This idea was that you could send $1 to get a coupon book (certificates) for amounts of the different Jem products. The total amount of savings could be $22 and up. I have a feeling that this became the Sizzling Spring Savings promotion.

These came from Carleigh Hoff who worked for Girls' Soft at Hasbro.

Jem Contest Winner

I really do not remember to much about this, other then there was a TV commercial running on the local FOX satiation. I thinking it came out around the time of the Glitter'n Gold episode, or after. Clips from GnG where in the commercial.

I won the Flip Side Fashion "Let's Rock This Town"™ 4235/4045, along with this letter saying a signed picture of Jem would be coming soon. It also had a $2 rebate...I know very little about that rebate now. I just can't remember.
