"hello

or general information about the label from the song ?

where do i found those or can you tell me

is there as well a repres from the songs on the same label ?

and how you know than thats the 1 press ?

maybe you can help me out or sending where i can get general informations for care "

I think it's self explanatory [er....]

The guy/gal is called Christin although I prefer to think of him/her as "Desperate of Dortmund"

Anyone got the faintest idea where to start or could come up with some useful information. I suggested he asked the members generally rather than me specifically and he replied

"just generelly

but don't you think there is allready a post like this ?

there is so much sites and don't know where to look "

I leave it in your capable hands.

There's so much to be covered, obviously it all depends if he has specific 45's in mind. Otherwise the only source that's documented regarding most of the Northern Soul 45s is to get a copy of John Manships 'Bootleg' guide (about £8)...or (more expensive) J.M's new Northern Soul Price Guide 2009 edition that incorporates the bootleg guide also.

If he has specific 45's in mind, then post them up on here where he will get good help sorting out the originals from the bootlegs.
