Stampede, The Scarlets (1959)
Not to be confused with the R&B vocal group of the same name, or the 1960s band from Denmark, or the glam-punk band from Australia, this was an instrumental group with Peter Antonio, (aka Pete Antell) and John Sanzone on guitars. Originally titled Dragstrip, Stampede was the theme to the movie Dragstrip Girl. From Billboard’s Music Popularity Charts Sep. 28 1959: “A fine instrumental blues with lots of echo. Side makes use of a downward progression of notes as one of its base themes. Plenty of raucous guitar and sax sound here (Atlantic, BMI).”
