Hi Sordid,
As a college freshman in 1960 I joined the Columbia House Record Club for their intro offer. I don't remember any different markings on the jacket or label with those. It does seem like the records had a sealed plastic sleeve (rounded at one end like the record, square at the other end) rather than the usual paper sleeve but if so, I changed those long ago so now I can't tell.
I think the offer was choose to 10 or 12 records for $.01, then agree to buy 5 or 6 more at the regular price. I got out then so only received 15 to 18 in total. My player at the time was real crap but I never noticed any sonic issues years later as my systems improved. Not sure I could identify all of those today but I still have most of them.
I also have a few used Columbias purchased years later that are labeled Columbia Special Products. Could those be the ones you are referring to?
