I joined them 5 different times.
1980 for LPs
1985 for cassettes
1990 for CDs
1991 for VHS
2000 or so for DVD

plus I was a member of BMG's CD club. Enjoyed them all for years and years.

I am still getting the DVD club mailers so they seem to still be in business so far.

first time i "joined" i was 11 and one of my cassettes was Journey Escape. Back then they sent you the album of the month as a default. Remember getting two before I figured it out that i needed to say no to the offer. They hounded me for 1 + years to get that money :roll: .
The cassettes/cd's must have been more cheaply made, because in the mid 90's when i tried to sell them, the columbia ones only got 25 cents/piece.

They sold cheaper because they had the copyright as Columbia House on, and a lot of times did not have the inner booklets.

I sold the Police cd box set for 5.00 and the person wanted his money back because of the Columbia copyright on it.
