Review by PeterLance Segall

Skate N Chips Skaters Waltz by Ted Heath And His Music – A Big Band Blast from 1962 Alright, let’s talk about Skate N Chips Skaters Waltz. This album? It’s like stepping into a time machine set to swingin’ 1962 London. Ted Heath and his crew were all about that big band jazz-pop vibe, and man, they didn’t hold back here. Released on Decca (you know, the label that gave us legends), this record has got charm dripping out of every groove. Noel Walker produced it—props to him for keeping things tight—and some dude named C cut the lacquer. Shout-out to unsung heroes! Now, onto the tracks. There are two tunes I can’t get out of my head: “The Gospel Theme” and the title track, “Skate ‘N’ Chips (Skaters Waltz).” Let me tell ya why these stuck with me. First up, “The Gospel Theme.” Holy smokes, this one hits different. You’ve got these brass blasts that feel like Sunday morning sunshine breaking through church windows. But then there’s this playful bounce to it—like someone sneaked a tambourine into the choir practice. It’s uplifting but not too serious, you know? Like, it makes you wanna clap along even if you’re just sitting in your car stuck in traffic. That mix of soulful and fun is what Ted Heath did best. And then there’s “Skate ‘N’ Chips (Skaters Waltz).” Oh boy, where do I start? The moment those strings kick in, it’s like being whisked away to an old-school roller rink. Picture this: wooden floors, neon lights flickering above, couples gliding hand-in-hand while fish ‘n’ chips wrappers crinkle underfoot. Yeah, it’s that vivid. The melody is smooth as butter, but there’s also this cheeky little swagger to it—a wink at the listener, almost. By the end, you’ll find yourself humming it without realizing. Trust me, it’s earworm gold. You might think an album from 1962 would feel dated, but nah. This thing still pops. Maybe it’s because big band never really goes out of style, or maybe it’s just how effortlessly cool Ted Heath was. Either way, Skate N Chips Skaters Waltz feels alive, like it could’ve been recorded yesterday. Here’s the kicker though—listening to this album made me wonder something kinda random. Why don’t we have roller rinks playing big band music anymore? Seriously, imagine strapping on skates today and grooving to Ted Heath instead of whatever EDM banger’s blasting. Could totally work! Just saying. So yeah, give this gem a spin. Whether you’re into jazz, pop, or just need a soundtrack for life’s quirky moments, Skate N Chips Skaters Waltz delivers. And who knows? Maybe after hearing it, you’ll dream of fish ‘n’ chips and waltzing on wheels. Stranger things have happened.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Skate N Chips Skaters Waltz* by Ted Heath and His Music is a hidden gem from 1962. It blends jazz and pop with that big band flair the UK was known for back then. Fun fact—Noel Walker, the producer, played a huge role in shaping its sound. And get this: one of the tracks, *The Gospel Theme*, might make you wonder how they mixed spiritual vibes with rollerskating beats. Smooth, right?
