KJ Tools Karaoke Introduction
Here is a collection of 12 discs from KJ Tools Karaoke. This label is from the A-Major Music people (more details below). By and large, the label name is certainly weird for discs that contain karaoke tracks. However, we are only interested in how they perform!
All in all, there are some decent sounds from that stable. But, we had not heard of this label before we sampled it in 2014. Further investigation on these discs is needed, with a possible write-up by individuals who have used the discs.
Collecting The Data
Indeed, our forum members sent their songbooks for this KJ Tools Karaoke series. That was so we could compile the directory. The karaoke disc ID numbers run in succession, so the listing was simple enough.
Not only did members send their disc identities (prefixes), but many gave us their song lists. So, we now have a reliable list. Furthermore, KJ Tools ceased production of karaoke tracks and discs. So, the lists we have will not change.
To clarify, here are the disc IDs from this karaoke series:

KJ Tools Karaoke Review
The splash screens are consistent, with a bright yellow backdrop showing the song title in dark blue. Those words have a white shadow, and that is all you get, as there is no other info on the screen regarding the track.
The white lyrics turn green as the music progresses. That happens on a deep blue background.
The on-screen lyrics sync well enough, but there was a slight lag in our samples. However, the lag was not by much.
The choice of music was fine, as you would expect from this label from this karaoke family.
There was no artwork, as such. Indeed, the CDG labels are similar throughout the series. They also have no designer sleeves, which is a slight let-down.
Karaoke Song Sample
Although we may use numerous songs for the review, we only provide one sample video to represent the label. So, the song sample for our video presentation is KJT02-16 – Fleetwood Mac – Dreams.

Desirability Factor
There is nothing special about this collection of discs. All the songs are available on other labels, of course. They have a small appeal to a collector, of course. But, if you are collecting other karaoke labels, you would be better off giving these a miss. However, if they are cheap, why not grab them? After all, they perform reasonably well.

I got the KJT set as a Christmas gift from my mother.
A great majority of the tracks are decent-good quality. The vocals are pretty good, and the background music is spot on. Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive is an example of one of the higher-quality tracks in this set.
85% of what I have listened to is decent quality.
5% of the songs seemed to be at a slower tempo.
5% of the songs had some hiccups in the lyrics, but that didn’t make them unreadable.
5% were AWFUL and Unusable. Bob Seager’s Turn the Page, a track by The Beach Boys, and several others are unusable. They are almost MIDI quality and have no backup vocals.
Some tracks were clearly labelled as Ameri-Sing tracks. I believe at least 2 of the unusable tracks were labelled as such. So, this does appear to be, at least partially, a compilation. In fact, when pulling the track information for discs as I converted them, at least 1 disc came back with metadata as a Supercore disc.
Overall, I would say that the 12-disc KJ Tools set, which is available for under $20 on Amazon and elsewhere, is a decent buy. A KJ will have to weed through the tracks to find the unusable ones and to note the tracks that need to be adjusted for pitch or tempo.
I haven’t gone through all of the tracks and am basing this on the ones I have gone through. Although, I think I have gone through around half of the tracks.
