You have heard, “Penny for your thoughts” – but if you did not experience the 70’s you would not know the term, “Penny for your music.”
This is an ad you would see in front of TV Guides, gossip magazines, well, practically everywhere. But you could tape a penny to the order form and get 13 or more 8-tracks, cassettes or albums. What a deal. Oh, but them you had to receive the latest top pick album, which most of the time was not in your genre.
It is great fun to see these ads – more to come!

ReplyDeleteI was a member of Columbia House from the late 80's to the end of the 90's......I would join to get the free music and movies fullfill my obligations and rejoin all over again to get the free movies & music again lol. Sometimes I was bad though and would join with a false name (after my friends told me they always did that and got away with it) and not finish the agreement good thing my mom moved around a lot....ahhh memories.
