Jazzman presents a brand-new Jazzman oldies subsidiary. This new series of limited run 45s will focus on the wild and insalubrious sounds of the late '50s and early '60s. Each release will feature unique label artwork, and all are limited to 500 pressings. The Champs are the genre's Beatles. "Club House" is one of the best Champs sides, but for some inexplicable reason it never saw an issue on 45rpm, until now. Side B features a track by The Rumblers.

Artist:	JAGUARS, THE
Title:	Jaguar/Roundabout
Label:	TT SHAKER (UK)
Format:	7"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TTSHAKE 103EP

The Jaguars waxed only two 45s, of which this limited reissue pairing of "Jaguar" and "Roundabout" was the pick. Cut back in the Texas oilfields of '59, all their songs came with a car theme. Presumably, these guys were part of a wild gang of hot-rod teen tearaways, blaring music out of their custom cars. Certainly, the wild & rasping sax on "Jaguar" is played to sound reminiscent of a revving engine. "Roundabout" is every bit as good and every bit as sleazy.
