And there's certainly a litany of other less major (and probably a few more big ones) that Im forgetting.
My collecting tends to be Texas centric, but I won't pass up on a killer 45 from anywhere else if its the right price or found in a collection Im buying... My many thanks to a few board members here that made several of these scores possible!
 
A Small list.

Toni McCann - Saturday Date
Toni McCann - No (promo)
Mort and the Mobees - Can't You See?
Atlantics - It's a Hard Life
Atlantics - Come On
Gemini Five - No, No, No (M-)
Escorts - On a Day like Today
The 5 - There's Time
Derek's Accent - Ain't Got No Feelin' (EX+ promo)
Tony Worsley - My Time of Day LP

There are many others, which I cannot remember off the top of my head.
 
Two others I just remembered that I did get were just bought a few days ago, The Big 3's At the Cavern EP (UK press.) and Brian Poole and the Tremeloes' Time is on my Side EP (OZ press.) - what a great EP this is!
 
Too many things coming and going this year. Dizzying when I try to start listing. A few biggies, Savoys, Emeralds, Cavedwellers, Gonn, Color Us Cool etc (some moved on to new homes with g45 members!). But my focus has been on snotty soul 45's by pimply faced white kids... Here's my favorites:

Mr Boss Hoss

Some killer and some filler this year. I'm sure everyone wants to read it all!

This is why we all bow down at the altar !
Hugely impressive list , I thought about it a bit and I think I've sussed it !
You have a clone and a well heeled one at that , which allows you to take the 60s
collecting to a crazy level and still maintain a real life . Balancing family and a job etc !
I'm more than a tad jealous .

This year was much better for me than last year. But it wasn't any special effort on my part. Because of my relatively high profile and the fact that people know I can absorb large chunks of collections without quibbling too much, I was offered early viewing on 2 very major collections this year. About two thirds of the records on my list are from those 2 collections.
 
A few garage 45s this year
Jack and Beanstalks - So many times
Untouchables - Don't Go I'm Begging
Unusuals - I'm Walking Babe
Jackson Investment Company - What Can I Say (Do)
Rooks - A Girl Like You
Page Boys - Things are Gonna Break Up (the last 45 I needed for a Camelot label run)
Malcontents - I'm A Roustabout
Intrigues - I Used to Love You Baby (one of the rarest Ohio 45s)
Als Untouchables - Come On Baby
Al and the Untouchables - Church Key
D-Coys - Bad Times
Black Diamonds - I Want, Need, Love You
Leo and the Prophets - Tilt A Whirl
Bonnevilles - Just Cant Tell Her
Phantoms - Story of a Rich Man
(edit) how could I forget this....
Cotton Mouth - Sunshine Saleslady / Mr Fiskers Glory (Sabrina) super rare two sided heavy rock from WA state
