Columbia House Guitar Club!

[Clashcityrocker]

For only 1 penny you will get 9 PRS guitars sent to you. Those are yours to keep. Then we will send you a PRS guitar of the month. You can try the guitar and if you like it you can buy it at the going price. If not you can send it back. Then next month we will send another guitar. All this for 1 penny!

I can’t wait to get charged $1799 for not returning an SE Tremonti in time.

And yet, if it were real, I would probably do it. Yikes!

If IIRC how this worked for me, they would *try* to charge me for the not returned/not cancelled albums, I mean, guitars. I was 15 what did they expect?

This business model might actually prove profitable for PRS with some of the members here.

 

[bodia]

I’ve been down this rabbit hole. I’d gladly go back!

Once I signed up as Jimmy Page and then later I said he didn't live here anymore.

Would I even want sloppy seconds (or worse) with a guitar that the rest of you have gotten your disgusting germs on?

It'd be like dating a hooker!

They did a covid test on them and all the guitars turned blue. They were negative....or was that positive?

How many do I have to buy over the next 2 years? I can't remember how that worked back in the day.

Most people under 30 have probably never heard of this but these were in most magazines back in the day.

Haha!

Under 30?? Most people under 90 have never heard of this!

I of course joined it when I was a kid. Trouble was, it was hard to stop subscribing.

 

[Moondog Wily]

I got a lot of music from Columbia House and whatever the other big one was. I would alternate my subscriptions between the two of them. Used some fun names back in the day including Bob Marley, Benjamin Sometunes, Pete Sake, Dickey Cornhole, etc. I think I only failed to complete my required purchases once, but it was under a pseudo name, so it did not bounce back on me ;~))

 

[aphantomvaper]

I seem to remember some of the media I received from CH was messed up and didn't play well. It was records, not tapes for as you got so my chance more art space with the album covers. When I was older I figured CH was like the imperfect foods of the record industry.

 

[László]

Philips had a monthly club for classical music at one time, and most of my classical records are from then. The vinyl and the packaging of the records was first-class, and the records still sound wonderful all these years later.

 

[D k Souther]

Most of my cds came from CH and BMG. lol. So many pseudo names! The early 90s were a crazy time.

 

[Coral Sky Music]

Great memories!!
I always though it was strange that when your ordered any Vinyl the album cover was always slightly different than what you would buy at the store. Gatefold albums were never gatefolds through Columbia House and they always had that Columbia House mark on the bottom right corner of the back cover.
I can't remember what I had for dinner 2 nights ago but I can remember things like that...
