Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore

@slaw: What was the defect in your first copy of Joshua Loves Ruth? Mine was fine.

By the way, you youngins’: In the early 1960’s a few of the major record labels had record clubs. I joined the Columbia Records club when I was 12 years old, and picked Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits as my first 1 cent (!) album.

@bdp24...I was a Columbia House member starting with records, then cassettes and finally CDs.  I used several different family member names to get that outrageous first offer of like 10 or 20 titles for a penny or dollar or whatever it was.  Built a nice collection that way...

My two copies had pops/ticks/noisy vinyl

Me too! @bdp24 ​​​@mofimadness 

In my early lp buying days, I'd order CDs I wanted on vinyl as a cheaper alternative. I could then sell the CD to the used store and recoup some money.
