The Ultimate Blackpool Music Vol. 3 brings together 50 recordings by The Empress Ballroom Orchestra, covering nine International Standard and Latin dances.

The collection reflects the orchestral ballroom sound associated with Blackpool, featuring performances conducted by Ken Turner, Irven Tidswell, and Charles Barlow. Rather than contemporary pop remixes, the programme draws on traditional ballroom arrangements, familiar melodies, and established dance-band repertoire.

The Standard selection includes eight Quicksteps, six Slow Foxtrots, eight Waltzes, and five Tangos. Titles such as Flight of the Foo Birds, Days of Wine and Roses, Somewhere in Time, and Blauer Himmel illustrate the range of the orchestral arrangements.

The Latin selection offers five Cha Cha Chas, four Sambas, seven Rumbas, four Jives, and three Paso Dobles. Among the featured pieces are Pepito, Maria from Bahia, The Power of Love, Lester Leaps In, and Amparito Roca.

Each track is accompanied by its dance classification, tempo, and playing time, making the collection practical for teachers, dancers, and organizers preparing ballroom lessons, practice sessions, or social dance programmes.
