Dear Luis,
A great tune.
"Stomp Off, Let's Go" (Elmer Schoebel)has been recorded by the following
'classic' era bands:
350      The Cotton Pickers  19 Nov 1925
369      Bob Crosby & His Orch  23 Jan 1939
658      Fred Hamm & His Orch  30 April 1925
764      Richard Hitter's Blue Knights  11 Sept 1925
927      Sam Lanin & His Roseland Orch  7 Oct 1925
973      Vincent Lopez & His Hotel Pennsylvania Orch  19 Sept 1925
1130   New Orleans Owls  24 Sept 1925
1364   Savoy Orpheans (English)  23 Oct 1925
1529   Erskine Tate's Vendome Orch  28 May 1926
I have all except the Hamm and Lopez.
The Erskine Tate version (with Louis Armstrong) is one of the greatest records
ever made!
Both takes are available on CD.
I have not included versions by 'traditional' jazz bands from the 1950s onwards.
  
Kind regards,
Bill.
