The Party (The Party album)

The Party is the debut album by the band of the same name. It was the first full-length release on Hollywood Records, which was released in America in August 1990. The Party worked with the industry's top writers and producers at the time, such as Stephen Bray, Jellybean Benitez, Andre Cymone, and Deborah Gibson. The album was released in the UK in 1992, with a slightly different track listing.

The album produced two U.S. charting singles: "That's Why" reached #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #52 on Cash Box. Its follow-up, "Summer Vacation," reached #86 after having peaked a year earlier at #72 in the summer of 1990 as an advance single. Although "That's Why", "Summer Vacation" and "Peace, Love and Understanding" were released in the UK, none of them made it into the charts.
