In Reply to: SEND NO MONEY: The rise and fall of the Columbia House record club — and how we learned to steal music posted by Poles Apart on November 11, 2011 at 09:06:34:
Consumers for music they didn't order and didn't want, musicians for royalties never paid. I never fell for it. I know that Book-of-the-Month Club books were not the same physical quality as the bookstore editions, and are virtually worthless on the used market. Does anyone know if Columbia House vinyl was inferior to the standard issues?
