— Return To Sender: BMG Music Has Been Discontinued
I vividly remember being a member of Colombia House’s version of this until I realized that I was being ripped off. It was not a happy realization, but one that I acted on immediately, cancelling the service and sending an angry letter to an editor somewhere.
One of the last times that I bought a CD too. From that point on it was copied tapes and then copied cds and now onto mp3s, which oddly enough are legally free. God bless Amazon’s free mp3 section and bands like NiN and Harvey Danger.
I used to have a BMG membership. I’m almost sad that they’re shutting down. It’s like the end of an era.

My sentiments exactly. I did take advantage of the 12 cds/tapes for a penny though…several times.
I remember getting these in the mail. Never did it though. I still buy cd’s, only because I am too lazy to download whole albums.
fuck’em
they ripped people off for years.
LOL I’ve been a member of both, canceled my Columbia House membership for the same reasons, and have been a member of BMG ever since. Still am actually, not that it matters since they are shutting down…
