Fan the Flame (Part 1) is the fifth studio album from dance music band Dead or Alive and was released in 1990.[1] Epic Records released Fan the Flame (Part 1) in Japan only. To this day it is still available only as a Japanese import.

The album contains a slight change in musical style for Dead or Alive, best known for Hi-NRG and disco songs. Fan the Flame (Part 1) contains more mid-tempo songs and melancholy lyrical content. The male background vocals on "Total Stranger" were performed by British pop band Londonbeat.

The songs "Unhappy Birthday" and "Gone 2 Long" were later re-recorded as uptempo dance tracks for Dead or Alive's next album Nukleopatra.

An unnoficial companion album Fan the Flame (Part II) - "Love Pete" The Acoustic Session was made available during a US personal appearance tour in 1992 and has since been widely bootlegged.[2][3][4][5] In his biography Pete Burns strongly criticizes is subsequent illegal distribution and those fans who continue to buy it.[6]
