We currently have a large supply of Elvis collector's plates. These plates make a great gift for the Elvis fan in your life. Originally priced at $35 each, they are on sale for just $25 each.

Do you have memorabilia or records you'd like to sell? Call Cliff at 214-725-6602 or email him at recordhound2@charter.net. He is mainly looking for: 50's and 60's modern Jazz; early Blues, Soul and Rhythm & Blues; early Rock (not soft Rock) and Rockabilly; 50's Country; female singers from the 50's; obscure covers, the weirder the better; 70's punk; heavy metal; picture discs and colored vinyl; and half speed masters. Of course condition is very important. If the records are scratched or if the covers are torn or written on, they are pretty much worthless except in rare cases.

Cliff also sells on ebay under seller name psyco90. Check out his current listings here.

About Cliff West

Cliff collected LPs and 45s from the 60s and 70s as a teen, but it wasn't until he was attending the University of North Texas in the early 90s that he decided to change direction and turned his record hobby into a business. “I grew up with a cousin named Andy who had been collecting seriously for years and he had accumulated all kinds of music. When he took me to my first record convention in Austin in 1993 I learned there was so much more to music than what you heard on the radio. There were over a million records at the convention. I didn't know that there were that many records in the whole world. Radio only plays the top 40, maybe a little deeper, but it still only scratches the surface, pun intended.”

“At the convention I saw what other people were buying and was curious about what it was that drove them to buy,” says Mr. West. “I was looking at the prices of some of the LP's & 45's and I couldn't believe my eyes. Some records from the 50's & 60's brought a lot of money and I was determined to learn why. Here it is over ten years later, and I'm still learning about music, because there is just so much out there. If you listened to a different recorded song every minute of every day, in your lifetime you still couldn't get through it all. Mind-boggling isn't it?”

Cliff West lives in Denton, Texas and is a fulltime record dealer.
