Madacy: Karaoke Party Introduction
The Madacy Karaoke Series is a mid-range collection in terms of size. All in all, the Madacy Karaoke Series produced over 100 discs.
Indeed, this is a decent showing and the sort that collectors love. They also come from those heady days when karaoke discs were released right, left and centre.
In this case, Madacy Karaoke has produced tracks across all genres, and the series is AKA Karaoke Party. Of course, this indicates that they wanted the customer to have fun!
Moreover, they have released songs from Elvis Presley to the Care Bears! For one thing, that’s going from one extreme to the other. But how do the CDGs perform? Well, our review is below.
Madacy (Karaoke Party) no longer makes CDGs, of course. However, with so many discs available, expect to find them occasionally on the internet. Of course, eBay and Amazon are always the first places to look. But we searched on eBay and only discovered the odd disc (2014). On the positive side, they were selling cheaply.
Now Digital!
Due to Madacy releasing numerous discs, there are many dupes. For example, the Supremes’ Baby Love may have up to 12 songs on various discs. Of course, many have guide vocals. However, our digital songbooks eliminate those. Indeed, we list just one song.
Compiling The Data
Madacy CDGs is AKA Karaoke Party, and that makes them sound fun. Compiling the following lists and songbooks was also fun. Although we had to sift through many lists, we did manage to sort everything out over time. We did a disc series catalogue, then compiled a song list or songbook.
Even though we had fun doing this collection, it was slightly confusing. It still is a bit of a mystery. That is due to the prefixes that karaoke jockeys (KJs) use. We shouted out for more information about these discs.
However, we had a poor response, so we had to work blindly on this collection for a while. Be that as it may, we did manage to complete the lists, as you will see below.
Our thanks go out to all those who also sent their songbooks for cataloguing. Please check our lists, and if you find any missing discs, let us know. Of course, send in a label and song list. That is so we can verify things!
Madacy: Karaoke Party Discs
To clarify, here is a list of all the Madacy Karaoke disc IDs (prefixes) we know of so far:
You may download the Madacy Discs list above. However, only members can download our songbooks. So, why not consider joining Karaoke Info?
Below, we highlight two special releases from Karaoke Party.
Madacy Karaoke: Care Bears Karaoke Discs
Here, we have a two-disc karaoke collection for kids. Indeed, this Care Bears Karaoke pack contains two discs.
- CBK2-50702
- CBK2-50703
It’s good of Madacy to think about children’s karaoke.
Of course, we have details of many children’s karaoke discs in our extensive directory, so please check them out.
We are short on kid’s karaoke reviews from ordinary members. Therefore, we welcome all input on these and other karaoke makers.
Madacy Karaoke: Elvis Presley Discs
Madacy Karaoke also gave us an Elvis Presley collection. Indeed, this is a three-disc collection.
- MEK52982
- MEK52983
- MEK52984
Like the kids’ discs above, many other Elvis Presley karaoke discs exist in our comprehensive directory.
Likewise, all input on these sets is welcome. The two series above are also in the songbooks.
Madacy Karaoke Review
The songs begin with a black-and-white splash screen before displaying any information. Then, the song title appears in red. The company logo is present with the words “Madacy Special Products.” The latter two words can also be “Interactive Entertainment”. The end screen sometimes shows the writers and publishers, but nowhere do you see the original artist.
Our sample karaoke tracks had white lyrics that appeared on a green screen. Those lyrics change to yellow as the music progresses. They also kept impeccable timing and synced perfectly with the music.
The choice of background music was excellent, and it sounded bright and clear.
The artwork on the covers differs significantly and complements the discs perfectly. The CDG labels are run-of-the-mill, but that is not a problem.
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 MKP2-5075-04 – Donna Summer – Hot Stuff.
Our Verdict
- On-screen Lyrics: 4.5
- Music Content: 4.5
- Splash Screen, Graphics, Video: 4
- Cover Art: 4.5
- Overall Average: 4.4
- Music And Lyrics Average: 4.5
We gave this collection 5 out of 5 in the rating system below. You can also vote for these, even if you don’t have the discs or tracks. Indeed, all you need to do is watch our presentation video above and judge that.
Desirability Factor
Although not a big name in the world of karaoke, the company did their best to provide these discs. We sampled a few song tracks and found them to be decent. Because they were cheap online when we checked, we would not turn our noses up at them if we needed more discs for our collection.
This collection may fall under the category of Karaoke Party. However, that is a generic name. Because of that, you will see some strange results without a connection to this series.
Your Opinion Matters
If you have some experience with the Madacy Karaoke Series (Karaoke Party), please consider writing a review in the comments section below.
At this point, we must say that we believe our information is pretty accurate. However, we would still like more information, particularly on the manufacturer. However, we are not far off the mark with our disc identities.
In brief, were they for the American market only? Let us know if this is correct. Also, we are sure that these will show up from time to time. But new karaoke collectors may not be familiar with them. So, your input is welcome.
In Summary
Nowadays, Madacy – Karaoke Party is not making CDGs (2014). A quick search on eBay only showed a handful in the USA, but none in the UK.
However, we must point out that we only had a quick search, and sales fluctuated. So, there will be times when the market is saturated with these discs. However, this also means that sometimes they will be scarce. Be that as it may, if you want them, they are available.
In any event, Madacy made a stack of karaoke discs. Of course, it is doubtful that all these would have come off the production line in such numbers had they been of poor quality.
For one thing, the company wouldn’t have lasted so long. So, it’s pretty safe to say that a karaoke collector will consider the odd one if the chance comes.
Be that as it may, a complete collection would be the ultimate aim of any collector if the quality was good, and these are.
Indeed, who would turn their nose up at a complete karaoke collection from an established manufacturer?
Because of the confusing information in this series, we are looking for more details. Indeed, if someone with lots of experience with Madacy would like to correct matters, please do so.
Madacy Karaoke Songbook (Discs & Digital)
You now have information about the Madacy or Karaoke Party discs. You now need to know what is on them.
As previously noted, we have a songbook file available. Indeed, even though many people call them Karaoke Party, we have kept with the parent name of Madacy.
That is because of the limited space at the top of our songbooks. Besides, most KJs will refer to this collection as Madacy. So, should you download the songbook, Madacy Karaoke is in print at the top.
However, if you want a Madacy songbook with Karaoke Party at the top, we can do that for you. In this case, we will do our best to change things. We have the Madacy songbooks on the next page. We do that as it allows our website to load faster. In brief, click the link below for the full tracklisting.
Our updated songbooks now include the digital version for your convenience.

Madacy was aimed at the home market in the USA. They were mainly in the K-mart type of stores.
Quality was usually good, and the best track is “You Light Up My Life” by Debbie Boone.
