Through either one of these two exciting offers: Be sure to indicate which club division best suits your musical tastes: Classical Listening and Dancing Broadway, Movies, Television and Musical Comedies, Jazz. Now everyone can join the Columbia Record Club (1963) If you want to join, you will first need a time machine.
PS: Just to clarify, these are NOT current offers – they are from the ’60s, ’70s & ’80s. These clubs were immensely popular, regardless of the actual savings - and for decades, ads like these could be seen in hundreds of newspapers and magazines across the country. You also had to respond each month to the club selection notice (one of which is below) or else you’d automatically receive the album of the month, and be charged for it.
The hitch? You had to order many more albums at “regular club prices,” which meant they weren’t cheap, and then there were the shipping and handling fees. These old mail-order record clubs offered super-cheap albums to the masses - originally on vinyl, later adding 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, and, finally, CDs.
