At the beginning of 1982, after an appearance at a Dutch rock festival with Raven , Jaguar were noticed by Raven’s manager and also owner of the indie label Neat Records Dave Wood, who proposed to release the band’s next single through his label. Jaguar signed the deal with Neat Records and replaced Reiss with Paul Merrell, former vocalist from the band Stormtrooper, just in time for the recording of the single “Axe Crazy”, which was released later in 1982. After intensive touring, in June 1983 Jaguar released their debut album, Power Games , which was a success with its no-nonsense high-speed approach.
