The Jaguars

Formed in ’64, the Jaguars were from Michigan (perhaps the small town of Bloomingdale in the southwest corner of the state) but traveled all the way down to the tiny resort town of Santa Claus, Indiana to record their one 45.

Otherwise I don’t know anything about the group, or who was in it.

The band pounds away on “It’s Gonna Be Alright”, written by Hosner and Leathers. The flip, “I Never Dream of You”, shows none of the same energy.

The Skoop label had several good garage bands on it, including the Nomads’ “Coolsville” (Skoop 1065) and the Weejuns’ “Way Down” (Skoop 1068). The related Showboat label also promoted garage records like the Wild Ones’ “I’m Not For You” and the Misfits’ “I’ll Feel Better”.
