One of director Richard Lester's first films, Its Trad Dad! starred Helen, and Craig as two teenagers with an affection towards the latest style of traditional jazz. Unfortunately, the mayor and other adults in their town don't share that affection and have the jukebox removed from a local coffee shop. The accompanying soundtrack featured Helen and Craig alongside traditional jazz names such as Terry Lightfoot, Acker Bilk and Chris Barber along with US giants Gene Vincent, Gene McDaniels and Chubby Checker. The album proved to be a UK success, peaking at #3 on the album chart during a five month chart run.
