Like Taters, this was around when I was young. Was terribly abused. Kids I knew would sign up as James Bond (honestly), as an example, and get the initial 10 LPs, then never fulfill the obligation. Seems was a flawed model then, maybe a flawed model now too.
Columbia House Lives Again
Of course, if vinyl is coming back we will need a resurrected Columbia House. According to the Wall Street Journal today, such is in process. I grew up with Columbia, in fact about 70% of my 15,000 records came from them. It was helped by the fact I worked for CBS and had easy and cheap access to their offerings. Yes, Adele 25 is now the top selling vinyl album, followed by Miles Blue in second place. Sadly, Miles, somethings do change, at least for a while. But that means millennials are buying into vinyl, a good thing.
So, how many of you out there were Columbia House junkies?
