Album Introduction
Party Party is a studio album by Black Lace — Colin Routh and Alan Barton — released in 1984 on Polydor Records. The Leeds duo had broken through with Agadoo, which reached UK No. 2 in 1984 and became one of the most recognisable — and most debated — British pop singles of the decade, later voted the worst pop song ever in a Channel 4 poll while simultaneously remaining one of the most played party records in the country. Superman followed at UK No. 9. The album is a 19-track collection of party singalongs, novelty pop and classic covers, including The Beatles' Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock, Chubby Checker's Let's Twist Again, Jeff Beck's Hi Ho Silver Lining and Tony Orlando's Knock Three Times, alongside two medleys. It is exactly what it sets out to be: a complete and unapologetic party record, and one of the most commercially effective examples of the genre in the British vinyl catalogue.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Agadoo — The song that defined Black Lace's career and one of the most immediately recognisable British pop singles of 1984; its combination of a completely irresistible hook, an associated dance routine and a production of cheerful simplicity gave it a cultural staying power that no amount of critical disdain has been able to diminish. UK No. 2.
- Superman — The follow-up single and another driving, singalong party pop track; its energy and immediacy give the album one of its most commercially effective and instantly recognisable moments. UK No. 9.
- Do the Conga — One of the album's most rhythmically irresistible and physically immediate tracks; a driving, percussion-led party song that gives the album one of its most energetic and crowd-pleasing moments.
- The Locomotion — Gerry Goffin and Carole King's 1962 classic, one of the most joyful and rhythmically compelling songs in the pop canon; Black Lace's reading gives the familiar song a contemporary party-pop energy that suits the album's celebratory aesthetic perfectly.
- Rock Around the Clock Medley — Bill Haley's 1954 rock and roll classic as part of the Side A medley; its inclusion alongside This Ole House and Dancin' Party gives the album one of its most energetic and historically wide-ranging moments.
