Praise Party Vol 1 (1983)

After the Songs for Bouncing Glories album, Ishmael threw caution to the wind and again and selected the Church’s favourite new songs and recorded them in the way that he felt they should be played. At this point he started to turn the gentle sweet worship, so loved in this era by adults, into a stomping praise party that the children could enjoy and participate in. Having linked the tracks by narration in the concept albums he now did the same in the Praise Party series. He could never stand long gaps between tracks and felt that by linking all the tracks together, it would give it a real live feel and also allow people to keep praising and not have to pause between each song.
