    I've just picked up a copy of the CD (listed as Fame on the spine) and track 2 "Way On Down", is listed as "Way To London". Is this another cock up by the record company or a "rarity"?

      This CD gives the title on the spine as 'Fame' (as mentioned above). This seemed clear to me to be the lazy error of someone at the record company referring to the vinyl reissue that appeared on the 'Fame' budget re-release label, where I believe the label logo would have appeared in small print somewhere on the front cover, and was used as the album title, as the album was simply called 'The Fun Boy Three'.
