Yes, I think you summed it up: this kind of limited release is for the hardcore collector enthusiasts -- those of us who really love this kind of music, and for people like us the combination of a digital/CD release with some vinyl makes it more special.
Of course the fact that garage "fans" themselves are making it so difficult for indie bands (by sharing/downloading so much gdigital stuff for free) is another story!
But I am determined to have a vinyl 45 made, one way or another, to go with our CD box set! :)

Yes I can understand that it is far more difficult and we don't want to miss out on great music which is mainly an underground scene. I think perhaps joining a label is a good idea but you can get shafted, (remember The Prisoners with stiff),you don't want to lose your independence. Nice to go with a label like Dirty Water, dead By Mono or damaged Goods and release both CD and a limited vinyl pressing for the die hard vinyl enthusiasts such as you and I.

I agree that vinyl is the best way to go to have a release that is truly special -- but should a band now go-it-alone to press their own stuff or still partner with a label? I never considered that when we were releasing records regularly in the 1980s and 1990s, but as was said above, it's now a lot more difficult...

I still remember in my early teens flickin' through the 60's section in my local record store,with shakey hand's in anticipation of comin' across a Kinks or Pretty Things pic sleeve.
I felt the same way when i held our first singles.
"CD's?" Nah,not for me i'll stick with the vinyl......or so i thought back then.
These days i'm not so sure of how much publicity comes from a release.Alot of the record companies we used in the 90's hit hard times and no longer exist (or now put out very limited runs of their releases)
It pains me to admit it but digial is prob. the way forward though my love of vinyl will never fade.("aaaahhhhhh")

There's 15 of them. The serial number on the spine points out which volume it is i.e. TS-01 or TS-15.

Johnny Thunders & Wayne Kramer do "Like a Rolling Stone" on their Gang Warfare album.
It's not technically "garage" but Mike Ness of Social Distortion does a cool cowpunky version of "Don't Think Twice" on his Cheating at Solitaire solo album.

On the Road Again - Novas, does the Race Marbles' Like a Dribbling Fram count? I hate the Dead but they did a few cool singles before shitting out a bunch of lame albums and It's All Over Now Baby Blue was one of 'em. It ain't garage but Elvis's version of Tomorrow Is a Long Time, tacked onto the Spinout soundtrack, is a beauty.

If you could approach one current indie label about releasing a new garage-psych vinyl 45, which label would that be? Or does the idea of being associated with "a label" even matter today?
Please share your thoughts!

Do you have MADAME RITARD'S HORRORS OF THE WAX MUSEUM in a file that you could possibly send me It's a great comp
one of my fav's

Apart from the obvious choices listed above, Back from the Grave in particular...of the more recent ones I think there are some that truly stand out for GREAT GREAT music and COOL packaging:
The IKON Story
The FENTON Story
also
2131 South Michigan Avenue
Fort Worth Teen Scene volumes 1-3
But that's all US stuff...I always loved comps like:
TRANSWORLD PUNK RAVE-UP
INFERNAL WORLD
The really really cool DIGGIN' FOR GOLD series, mostly European stuff but also US and OZ
And I HAVE to mention Rubbles, especially some of the early volumes back in the early/mid-80s
