The Ultimate Ballroom Album 1

The first Ultimate Ballroom Album pairs a vocal-led Waltz selection with Quickstep, Foxtrot, Tango and Viennese Waltz. Al Martino, Bobby Darin, Alma Cogan and Geoff Love Orchestra recur across its 36 recordings. The two-disc programme gives ballroom dancers a clearly divided selection of songs and orchestral pieces, with original disc-specific track numbering, tempo listings and playing lengths retained.

Al Martino’s repeated presence gives the Waltz section of The Ultimate Ballroom Album 1 a recognisable vocal thread. His selections appear alongside Des O’Connor and Manuel & the Music of the Mountains, including themes from Papillon and Sunrise, Sunset. Disc 1 then moves into Quickstep, where Bobby Darin, Alma Cogan and Billy May provide a change of repertoire and pace.

Foxtrot opens the second disc with songs such as I’m Beginning to See the Light and Change Partners. The Tango section includes La Cumparsita and a Joe Loss recording before the collection finishes with five Viennese Waltzes. Rather than concentrating on a single dance, the album offers a compact set of choices across the Standard programme, particularly suited to listeners drawn to classic singers and orchestral ballroom material.
