What Was Columbia House Record Club? A Dirt Nap City Dead End
If you remember a time before downloadable or streaming music, you might remember the (seemingly) amazing offer that Columbia House offered - 12 CDs, Records, Cassettes, 8-Tracks, etc for one penny (later 1 dollar). This was an early subscription model of business that raked in the big bucks for CBS records and was successful for many years. But how was it for the consumer? What was the "catch" to the end user?
In this episode of Dirt Nap City Dead Ends, Alex and Kelly revisit the Columbia House Record Club, how it worked and how it took advantage of young music fans who wanted to build a collection of recorded music.
So for all of you who ended up with music you didn't want and paid way too much for, tape that penny to the paper and listen up!
Drop us a quick text and we’ll reply in the next episode!
