Damn...in the 60's and 70's, I bought quite a few LP's from Columbia House...then in the late 80's or early 90's, CD's from BMG. Even with the contract, it was still a pretty decent deal.

Oh wow. I just remembered I was in BMG. This was like ten years ago and it's my recollection that they changed the way things were done. All fuzzy but they folded the program of course.

Columbia House was king in the LP days. Many, many, many kiddies went for the upfront haul of cheapies/freebies and then couldn't or didn't want to follow through on the back end.

BMG was king of the cd days. They actually had decent overall deals, especially if you were patient and waited for their extra special "half (discount) price/even extra cd's up front deals you could find in Rolling Stone back when RS was actually relevant. Yes, Rolling Stone was once hip and relevant. Hard to believe, I know. 😉

It's always interesting to hear you two wax nostalgia about what it was like before electricity.

Those damned LP's were heavy...and expensive to ship..

 

[Hugh Jass]

Eff you Officer Krupke, I ain't tellin' you shit.

Was this one of the clubs with the big sheet of stamps for different CDs?

 

[rayfieldclement]

Not me except once. I made the initial order for tapes and never payed for them. No copying was done.
