Nice goin' Mr. Segment. A handy reference page like this is definitely needed so we don't have to go a-trolling all over the 'net to find out information.
My one suggestion for presentation - place the entire list in alphabetical order by group / performer names. The you can do something to allude to a high G45 location (G45 top 100, G45 Top 200, not a G45 disc, etc by some type of color code or font. Makes it much easier to locate results this way.

Oceans (Pla-Me) at least 20, probably half are still waiting around to be ransomed!
The Talismen on Julian - "She Was Good", I don't think there were ever any high volume/quantity find on that title, perhaps 10 at one time, from the Julian label owner buyout. It used to turn up as single copy before then on occasion.
"I Know A Girl" was the one that turned up before the Julian label owner buyout in quantity of at least 50. PNW record dealer Bob Pegg was hawking unplayed copies for decades til he finally depleted his inventory.

Those Shags (CT group) 45s on Sammy and Nutta easily exist in 500+ amounts. The Nutta 45 was a Top 5 hit here locally. The Kayden pressings were 5000 each, same with Bram Rigg Set.

Tasmanians on Conda - at least 10 copies from former band members and Mark C******'s extra "trade only copies he had in the late '80s.

Here are a few I didn't spot right off:
Fumin' Humans (Angry) 10 I had 2, plus another collector turned up somewhere around 8 copies
Head & Hares (no label) 20+
Hides (Scotty) 20
Hooterville Trolley (Lynette) 25+
Jaguars (Skoop) 100+
Jesters Of Newport (Solo) - 100
Kidds (Big Beat) 100+
King James... (Plato) 50
Landlords (Reed) 15-20
Mixed Emotions (Kustom Kut) 25+ (25 at first buy, more afterwards)
Outcasts (Plato) 50
Outsiders "She's Coming On Stronger" 15-20
Raunch (Bazaar) 100 (band member still selling them!)
Sands Of Time (Stearly) 20
Satisfied Minds (Plato) 50
Shy Guys (MU) 20+
Tigermen "close That Door" 15-20
Tigermen "Tiger Girl" 25+
Wild Ones (Orlyn) 6 copies
Wyld (Charay) "Fly By Nighter" 75+

Here are some I can think of over the years. I'm only counting instances where I purchased or received multiple copies in one transaction. All were unplayed:

Graf Zepplin (Orlyn) - 20 copies. Mark P. also obtained at least 10 copies from a different band member after I purchased my copies in 1994
Huns (Pyramid) 5 unplayed
Levis (Fleetwood) 7 copies
Early Americans (Paris Tower) 10 copies. There is an insert for the disc but no one had any of those.
Scepters (Melbourne) 6 copies
Scepters (Orlyn) 10 copies
Sound On Sound (Tunnel) I didn't have more than 5 to trade / deal, but there are 50+ that were sourced.
Spontaneous Generation (Fevre) 6 copies
Swaydes (Paris Tower) 10 copies, 5 had inserts, 5 did not. That 25 count with inserts is too high.
Copies of this that have surfaced since my find are random, and not a direct quantity source.
Try-Angle (Orlyn) - 4 copies
What Fours (Fleetwood) 6 copies ( 5 were extracted via the most torturous, grueling, aggravating experience I've ever been party to witness. The 45s were divvied with my partner in the dealing)
Zone V (Caravan) 6 copies

The Morning Dew - Go Away (Fairyland)
The Morning Dew - No More (Fairyland)
...don't know how many but there must be a pretty good quantity from some band member or such, right?

 

[MopTopMike]

From the top off my head... Huge quantity finds of:
The Soothsayers - Please Don't Be Mad, w/ ps
The Traits - Nobody Loves The Hulk, w/ ps

Yes, at least 100 of the Traits
A record shop in Kansas City, Missouri had 2000 copies, with sleeve, of "Please Don't Be Mad".
I saw them!

 

[Mr.Segment]

The Morning Dew - Go Away (Fairyland)
The Morning Dew - No More (Fairyland)
...don't know how many but there must be a pretty good quantity from some band member or such, right?

Yes, forgot Go away! That was quite recently.
Don't think No more has turned up in the same quantity, if at all in lots?

Nomads - Be nice + p/s (7+)

I bought one of these in Aug 2009 from a seller on ebay that was selling it for a band member... Apparently it was told to them that it was originally a press of 100 copies which came as two 50 count boxes, a few were sold at the time and then it went into "storage"... Sometime back in the 70's or 80's in cleaning out the storage area the unopened box of 50 was put in the garbage..... The remaining box (opened at the time of the pressing) had an estimated 35 or so in it.... at this point they ebay maybe one a year or so.... At that point it was estimated that perhaps a dozen were left....

Guessing that the member in question was either Wes Harris or Bill Ham as the item description included links to their current projects etc:

SONG "BE NICE" WRITTEN BY MEMBER WESLEY HARRIS CURRENT LEAD SINGER OF KAT DADDY http://www.katdaddyband.com/
LEAD GUITAR OF THIS GROUP WAS BILL HAM, ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS IN TEXAS. PLAYED WITH THE YELLOW PAYGES, SONNY AND CHER, THE HAM BROTHERS AND MANY MORE http://www.myspace.com/bill_hamtexasguitarist

PHOTOS ARE OF BILL AND WES IN 1968 AT TRINITY PARK IN FORT WORTH AND PERFORMING THERE AGAIN IN 2005 ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FORT WORTH 60'S BANDS http://groups.yahoo.com/group/musicandartsagogo/

Yes, absolutely. The tidier the better!

Oceans (Pla-Me) at least 20, probably half are still waiting around to be ransomed!

It'd be interesting to see his complete sales of this 45. I bought my copy from him very early on at $50 or so off of eBay. I think others did as well and he didn't catch on at once. So I think at least 50. He either sourced/lucked into a member or bought an estate lot because he also had promotional photos and a master tape of some related, later, incarnation? My memory is vague about this because he wrote this in a letter to me along with a cassette w/soundbites of other 45s he wanted to hawk (got the Mojos Go for a pittance! Felt bad about this at the time but not anymore...) I might have the letter somewhere but have moved since so it's a needle-in-the-haystack search.

The Talismen on Julian - "She Was Good", I don't think there were ever any high volume/quantity find on that title, perhaps 10 at one time, from the Julian label owner buyout. It used to turn up as single copy before then on occasion.

This was GG's info. Mr.Buckeye, verification?

Fumin' Humans (Angry) 10 I had 2, plus another collector turned up somewhere around 8 copies

Erik L? Because he's got one left I believe.

I'll update the post once kids/wife have passed out!

[Mr.Segment]

Great! Keep 'em coming! Would also be very good to know decade if you all can remember

 

[buckeyebeat]

There was a quantity of the Talismen "She Was Good" - although they first appeared in the late 1970s and were gone by the time most of you all became aware of the record.
There's a bunch more....staying in the NW I would report

Panorama titles - the only ones that were NOT quantity were the Heirs (the rarest Panorama), Unusuals, Tom Thumb and Casuals (both)
Phantoms (Graves) 10-15?
Barber Green (F-Empire) 25?
Ethics (Graves) i think there were a few. The only ones I've had were found used.
Garland label - small quantities on several of them. Don't remember details.

Moving on...
Edicates (Musicol) 20+
Interns (Eastwood) defective 'echo' press - at least 25, maybe 50 and probably more...
One Way Streets - 2 finds, one the infamous 'dumpster dive' of 25-30 and 10 from a band member
Baskerville Hounds (Tema) probably 100+ of the Christmas one, maybe 25 of the "All you had to do..."

Most of the Counterpart 45s have quantity finds. I'd say 15+ of New Lime "Ain't Got No Soul" on the black label. It was still for sale in the bin of a local record store, but they would only sell you one!

There's plenty more I'm sure

 

[buckeyebeat]

There were some quantity of the Swaydes with cards. A dealer from New Orleans had them. They sold some on eBay - 5 at least. I got one.

 

[MopTopMike]

Jeez, I forgot my own Connecticut locals

Apple Corps (Subtown) 25 copies unplayed (early '90s)
Children Of The Night (Bella) 10-15 copies all unplayed (late 80s)
Eastern Alliance - 12 unplayed copies (1988-90). I did manage to get two with the custom printed sleeve noting the group name and the song titles typeset in red ink.
Java Men (Plaza) 5 copies, but only 1 unplayed 1992
Loose Ends (Meadowbrook) 10-15 copies, unplayed
Mad Hatters (Mask) 8 unplayed copies (1995-6)
New Fugitives (Glo) 10 copies, 6 were unplayed, rest VG, 1990-91
Rogues (Peyton) (early '90s) 5 unplayed copies, plus two beat (G+) from different bandmembers

These were also extracted in quantity, now sold out! Dates are my best estimates:

Ascensions (Gemini) 10-15 most unplayed (mid 90s)
Beechnuts (Showcase) 10 unplayed copies (mid 90s)
Idols (Luv) "True Love Gone Astray" 20-25 all unplayed (early 90s)
Insane (Allen Associates) at least 25, all unplayed (early 90s)
Jesters IV (Fuller) 10-15 (late '80s)
Phoenix Pyre (C.A.V.U.) 10-15 all unplayed (early 90s)
Triangle (Fun) 5 - 10 unplayed copies (early '90s)

The Squires (Atco) was a challenge to locate in the 70s / 80s, until a box of 25 surfaced from a southern record warehouse at the end of the '80s. They were quickly snapped up at the time for $100 apiece. Since that time copies have surfaced on a somewhat regular basis. Easily 100+ in collections

 

[MopTopMike]

Ethics (Graves) there must have been 5-10 unplayed, since I got a mint copy from Bill N.
Phantoms (Graves) at least 10, got mine from Don K. in the PNW for $40.

Remembered another one I got lucky with:

Checkmates International "Thinkin About You" 5 copies unplayed

 

[MopTopMike]

George:

What about Me & The Guys on Pla-Me? The defective pressing (with a mastering "skip" at the intro (2) and one in the fadeout) seems to be found in used / played condition. But I seem to recall a handful of unplayed, non defective pressing copies turning up. I think I got my unplayed copy from you, as a matter of fact!

More as they come into memory:

Bar Boys (Lyar) 25+ unplayed from a bandmember
Dean Kohler "Gooseberry Pie" 15-20 unplayed
Pictorian Skiffuls "In A While" at least 10-15 unplayed copies via Mark P from one of the members.

 

[MopTopMike]

IGL label - the only one not really found in any quantity was the Mad Lads, but even that one has surfaced enough here and there. I'm only counting the 1965-1969 releases.
IGL 45s worhty of some merit (depending on your taste) like the Fowl (released in 1971) and the Cyclones (released in 1976) were either ignored or discarded back in the IGL "harvest" days.

Also - Nearly all of the Fenton label 45s have turned up in quantity of at least 10-15. The hardest one, the Chentelles, never did, just one or two here and there. The JuJus "You Treat Me Bad" was a quantity find, they were going like free backdoor passes at the strip club - for $50 each from Tim in the late '80s. He must have had 25, probably more.

Count me in, just found and bought one copy last July.
