Memorex Karaoke Introduction
Here, we have information about the Memorex Karaoke Series. It is a decent collection from this firm that includes numerous karaoke discs. We have information about the karaoke discs and tracks. We also have a songbook that you can download.
Is It Live, Or Is It Memorex?
Years ago, their slogan was, “Is it live, or is it Memorex?” Indeed, this used to be a slogan for the firm, and their ads were regular on TV.
Moreover, it was pretty catchy, but they were advertising many other products. However, we have a healthy interest in their karaoke discs.
The company didn’t make many CDGs, but we respect all karaoke producers for any attempt.
The company still makes other products, but they haven’t made karaoke discs for a while.
They still make karaoke disc players as well as microphones. So, they still provide for the karaoke market, and we appreciate this.
We set out to provide a platform for Memorex Karaoke but didn’t realise it was so popular. Indeed, some people still use the discs for their karaoke gigs.
We received plenty of information about the Memorex Karaoke releases. So, here we list the discs with prefixes that karaoke jockeys (KJs) use in their songbooks. Also, we list the disc title because that may help identify the discs better. We have a complete song list (songbook) for these discs (see below).

To clarify, here is a complete list of all the karaoke ID numbers we are aware of:
You may download the list of Memorex Karaoke discs above, but only members can access the songbooks. Those discs marked with two asterisks are not in our songbook because we have no further information. Of course, if you have any information about the missing discs, let us know.
Memorex Karaoke Review
One of the staff members here at Karaoke Info has a three-disc karaoke set from Memorex, so this review comes from those discs.
The purple splash screens all have the company name at the top. Underneath that, you will see “Is it live, or is it Memorex?” that we spoke of. Then, the song title appears in the middle.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the screen is the web address. However, when we checked out the URL, www.memorexelectronics.com, the website was dead!
The purple splash screen remains to display the white lyrics. Those words turn yellow as the song progresses. You will also see yellow dots used as a countdown at the start or during an instrumental break.
The choice of backing music was good, and the on-screen lyrics synced perfectly. The artwork on both the CDGs and covers was excellent for karaoke discs.
Song Karaoke 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 MXUPH03-08 – Supremes – Stop In The Name Of Love.
Our Verdict
- On-screen Lyrics: 4.5
- Music Content: 4.5
- Splash Screen, Graphics, Video: 3.5
- Cover Art: 4
- Overall Average: 4.1
- 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
We set out to sample these discs and got overly excited. However, many contained eight tracks, of which four had a vocal accompaniment (guide vocals utilising MPX). That gives a total of 4 unique songs on each of those discs. That doesn’t represent value for money. Neither is it any good for storage!
Be that as it may, our samples showed that the tracks from the 3-disc set we sampled were decent enough. Indeed, we would have no problems gigging with these. So, they would be suitable for home use.
After a quick search on the internet, we couldn’t find any trace of the Memorex Karaoke series. However, we expect them to crop up from time to time. So, if you do your homework here and buy some discs that suit your needs, please come back and tell us all!
Memorex Karaoke System
Memorex still produces those small home karaoke disc players. These home karaoke entertainment systems, as we know, will never sound too good, regardless of who makes them. They are no substitute for a dedicated karaoke bar or club system. However, they do have their uses.
Indeed, see them as kids’ play toys because you will never recreate the same sound as your local karaoke bar or club! However, if gadgets like these help ease people into the karaoke world, that’s fine.
If you have any of the discs above or have a Memorex portable karaoke system, why not give us a review?
We would like to know about the quality of the items. By doing this, you can do your bit for the karaoke community. Of course, the team at Karaoke Info would love this information, too. In particular, we would like to know whether the music quality, on-screen graphics and machines are worth it.
