About Mel Priddle
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
My period of greatest knowledge is 1940 - 1980, but I will try to answer any question relating to popular music from the last century. I am particularly knowledgeable concerning the recordings of Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

Experience
Ex-record merchandiser and record/cd buyer with an extensive personal collection.
