The Official Quantity Find list

MopTopMike said:
I'm sure Arlie had 100 of every Milky Way label title. He advertised them in Goldmine as far back as 1980, maybe even earlier. Dean Carter "Rebel Woman" was $25 back then.
Bob Pegg also sold these titles, which meant that Arlie must've sold half of the load, or some portion of it to Pegg. Pegg was always eager to buy titles in quantity.

When Alec Palao and I were in Danville to transfer the tapes for the Ace/Big Beat comp 10 years ago, Arlie still had quantities of the all his 45s except Fever, which he said he was down to his last 1 or 2 copies. Even though Ace eventually worked out a deal with him, Arlie was a total dick so was Dean Carter when I called him. I actually had to hang up on him after calling him a PHONEY GODDAMN CHRISTIAN!!! Although he did call back and apologize, although he still acted like a dick. Both Arlie and Dean were phoney Christian assholes (not that all Christians are assholes) But these 2 guys were. I'm amazed the deal ever got done at all. Now Kookie Cook (Dean Carter's drummer who recorded the classic Workin' Man which is on the Milky Way comp) was a really cool guy when I talked to him. He was also a ultra Christian but was happy to talk about to me about his days over at Milky Way. What's funny about Arlie Miller is that he didn't want us to talk to Dean or Kookie 'cause he didn't want to pay them a dime. I talked to them anyway and once they found out the cds were coming out, I'm sure they got something from the tightwad known as Arlie Miller. :confused:
 
A few more :
Combenashuns (Leo) 50+
Werps -Love's A Fire 20+
Apostles (WGW) 20+
Young Monkey Men (Jade) 10
HM Subjects -Don't Bring Me Down must be 100+
XL's-Second Choice 10-12
Colors of Night 10-15
Painted Faces-Anxious Color 100+
 
So that explains why Beckett Quintet 45s are dirt-cheap (there's on one Musicstack for $15 right now, and I lost one in NM shape for less that that on Fleabay the other day) and why every copy I've seen on the New Lime record has been a black-label version, as opposed to my white-label copy of the record.
 
Travel Agency - Jailbait (Zordan)
...got a feeling it's a quantity find aswell... 90's? Got it from a buddy here in town, who in his turn got it from Tim Warren.
 
The Coachmen on Sea Ell has been a quantity find. Ebay seller from El Paso found a short stack of them in a the collection of an old dj/promoter from Hobbs. Less than 10 copies I would guess and they've been leaked out over the past couple of years.
 
All of the rock Sea-Ell 45s were available in quantity, except for the Knight's Bridge, which did not surface at all.

George Washington & Cherry Stompers "Back Shelf Of your Mind" being in the 50 or more vicinity.

Derby Hatville "You'll Forget Me" / "Turn Into Earth" was 25-50

I am sure there were less of the Coachmen, probably 15-20 tops, from what Don Julio told me many moons ago.
 
I have no idea or proof, but had always figured that there was quantity finds of both Bojax singles and the Customs Five "Let's Go in '69"

At least 25 of the Customs Five
All three Bojax singles in moderate (>20) quantity. Of course no one wants the third 45.

That reminds that the Roots on Brownfield was a quantity, I think 15, maybe more. Dunno if the guy in the band signed them all or not.

Out of curiosity, when was this find, and was it mentioned who the copies came from?
I was in touch with the vocalist in the late 90s. He didn't have any.

This was around before the late 1990s....probably the early 1990s. I think they were from a warehouse, not a band member.
 
These 45s were all from that Birmingham warehouse load, dealers were selling copies for decades!
all at least 100:
Bassmen "I Need You" (Vaughn LTD)
Fox & The Huntahs (Malcolm Z Dirge)
Jerks "I'm Leavin' You" (Vaughn LTD)
Randy & The Rest "Confusion" (Jade)

The Loos Foos 45 was for sale as BINs in quantity on eBay in the latter half of the 2000s. That's why it doesn't show on Popsike (fer instance). Too bad since the seller had the whole story on how he obtained the disc in his listing. He sourced it after hearing about it and becoming obsessed with finding a copy. I can not recall wether he sourced a bandmember or someone affiliated with ACE.

I originally saved the story, but it's at least 2 laptop crashes ago. The curse of the digital format.

Perhaps someone with more worldwideweb skills than me can dig up an old eBay listing?

I located Rick Sousa from Loos Foos in 2008 and asked him a load of questions and after re-reading his interview I notice that he suggests 1000 singles were made and sold at gigs or given away. He didn't have any copies of the 45.

I like this list very much. Could someone start a list of the ''boots' made of garage 45s made so far or would this be a part of Mikes book when it comes out?
 
I've listed the 45 bootleg pressings in tbm, and the visual characteristics to identifying each one as a bootleg).
I've only included bootleg 45s which do not identify "reissue" on the labels, along with collector reissues (like the Alarm Clocks 45, which was manufactured with the consent of band members, but does not designate a reissue on the label).
