2012 Release Dates

Below is a listing of announced (and some rumored) 1960's U.S. garage/rock band reissues, sorted by expected or announced month of release. Dates are tentative and scheduled to be changed at any time by the labels.  Updates will be provided when known, and are derived from the labels' Web sites and catalogs--or directly from contacts at the various companies.  Please note that all labels may also release non-U.S. garage band related titles but those won't be listed here.  We'll also provide information on the more important releases in News & Nuggets.
