April 27, 200916 yr thats all very good but wheres the flasher There used to be one in our local park !!
April 27, 200916 yr True Stomping was an artform when done correctly.It involves a fast shuffling of the feet to very uptempo pounders.Back in my youth club days i was quite good and my feet used to move as fast as bees wings.Lots of lads could do it but it was knackering and to be honest thats why it has died out,but you still see people on todays scene stomping in bursts.Big stomping records at our youthy were The Champion The Kid Dance To the music The Flasher Along comes mary Reaching for the best
April 27, 200916 yr Hiya mate,I asked a dj(small letters)to play this for my wife recently"its played out mate"he told me,asked again,the dance floor filled,djs huh? i think its like any record you grew up with, its nice to hear them every once in a while, but not over, and over again. but hey, i still "love on a mountain top" alan Edited April 27, 200916 yr by ajb

A great aerobic workout for over 2 minutes even at 54. Just turn on the pacemaker and 'GO FOR IT'. Even your dodctor would be pleased to know you could go all the way through with it. Keep on Stompin' lads. Tony T BONE. OZ. K.T.F.
April 28, 200916 yr At the risk of hijacking the thread there are two types of record refered to as stompers. Thjose with a bang bang 4:4 beat that are simply fast records with a heavy percussion, and those with a complex tripping rhythm.....so one man's stomper is another man's errr stomper I suppose.....The ones in that mag were probably the first type...... The stompers I think we're on about are the latter (fast tripping complex rhythm) such as: Lovelites, Flaming Emeralds, Gene Chandler, "Do me right", Wil Collins, 7th Wonder 'Captain", Joe Hicks, Alfie Khan, World Column, Cheryl Berdell, Life "Tell me why",Anthony White "I can't turn you loose".....in fact I'd say most stompers were influenced by the Mecca / Cleethorpes Pier type sound when I think about it....
April 28, 200916 yr Time - Edwin Starr ,best stomper ever This would definitely be in my top ten stomper list.. A couple from me....Todays People - S.O.S (All We Need Is Time For Love) and my all time fave has to be said...Vicki Sue Robinson - Turn The Beat Around It's all about the break... Julia
