anyone know the origin of the new repros that have just appeared? including the Chevelle V, What Four ,Nomads on Stark,Grim Reapers... anyone bought them? seems to be a UK bootlegger..
 
There are ton of new Repros!
THE BARDS Alibis / Thanks A Lot Baby (EMCEE-013) demented 1966 Texas screamer b/w LOSER BALLAD
THE FABS That's The Bag I'm In / Dinah Wants Religion (COTTONBALL-1005) - 2-sided California killer!
THE HAUNTED 1-2-5 / 8 O'Clock This Morning (AMY-959) - Pebbles One infamy! BUT (even better) this is the RAW and RARE usa mix version, and it is much more treble-blasting and explosive than the Canadian Quality version.
KAMA-DEL-SUTRA She Taught Me Love/Come On Up (ZIG-ZAG) Ultra-rare Minnesota teen punk 2-sider. "She Taught" is a Kinks' "Revenge"-riffed harmonica dance stomper. "Come On Up" is a killer garagesoul raver Young Rascals cover.
NOBLEMEN Short Time/ THE OTHER HALF The Girl With The Long Black Hair" (ORLYN) Chicago 1966 two-sider! The Noblemen is a raging fuzz'n'scream-filled Back From The Grave monster, and The Other Half is a terse, moody "Stepping Stone"-riffed slab of pure teen lust.
OUTCASTS 1523 Blair/Smokestack Lightning (GALLANT) Texas 1966 monster, "1523 Blair" is an ultra-highspeed BLUR! "Smokestack" is, yes, the Howlin' Wolf tune.
THE POSSUMS She's Loving Me/ King Of His World (JM-3824) 1966 Arizona teen garage gem - rocker a-side with THREE fuzz guitar leads - and the LOSER ANTHEM b-side moody bummer.
THE REASONS WHY Don't Be That Way (SOUNDTRACK-2000) /THE FANATICS I Will Not Be Lonely (GINA-1118) - a-side is an Elevators-on-speed screaming rant, b-side a pounding dancefloor winner, also from Texas.

 
and it seems like the maker(s) hasnt had the decency to put a tiny "reissue" on the label to spare unsuspecting ebayers painful lessons. annoying!

Found this online, it's small but it appears that "reissue" is printed on the label, below the catalog #.

They sound way better than the Garage Greats rip-off repros. I've compared a coupla of'em with originals (Tamrons, Escapades, Outcasts...) and the sound is very close on the repros. Same volume and very similar eq.
 
Plagues
Bourbons
Aardvarks
Chob
Wig
....

no time to sit down for the reissue buying crowd. Let's just hope they sound so good to bring some originals on the market.
 
So did we find out who is responsible for these re-issues?
Might be tempted to get The Chob and The Wig 45s.
 
Does anyone have a complete list of all the U.S. garage (+ some Canadian) repro's ever since the Plummer guy in the U.K. started the whole thing? I've lost interest in an early stage with those really crappy so-called "Garage Greats" repros. I see some new repros that are tempting to buy, but I need to be sure that they sound great. So, does anyone have a complete list sorted by "source" and with the "OK"/"not OK" tag? Here's a list (probably incomplete) of repro's that I found on eBay:
