Easy and Essential are the same company.
EK (Essential Karaoke) issued these discs regularly conating populare songs
sometimes with an free accompanying FIK (Free Issue Karaoke) disc; they
re-issed some of the EK discs uing the same cat number but slightly different
track listings.
At the same time they had their Essential Top Ten issues which were contained
new and current songs.
They started issuing weekly EKI (Easy Express Hits) discs, and at the same time
switched the other regular discs to EZH (Easy Hits karaoke) listing. with the
following series:
EZH - Easy Hits
EZA - Easy Artists
EZP - Easy Pop
EZC - Easy Classics
They also did an Extreme Pack of 6 discs EZEX, along with others;
Abba - EKABBA
Blues Brothers - EKBB
Duets - EKD
Teen Pack - EKTP
American Idol - EKAIG - - - and I'm sure that I've missed some.
I've got a 2-pack here of EKN8/1 and EKN8/2, labelled Easy Hits
Also have some EZS discs on the HD which contain Easy Karaoke
tracks, but no idea what series they might be from.
Easy Karaoke also took over Omnibus Karaoke at some time
using the EZ prefix, I only have 6 (no originals) of those EZ discs,
together with 12 of the original OM discs. Easy lookto have
used the same numbering; first OM that I have is
OM23448 Party Time 1, and the latest EZ is EX29238 Gareth
Gates and Will Young.
Karaoke Box are confusing, I have several KB, but only one KBO,
which is KBO143 EXITOS ITALIANOS - which translates to Italian
Hits.
Also have 98 KBM tracks which play as Karaoke Box.
KSLC lists Karaoke Box as KB.
