Well, it probably was a good deal. Trouble was, I got used to buying the cheap albums, and then I resented having to buy the full price (jacked up price) ones. Also, since my dad was in the Army, I was used to shopping at the PX, and that was before the advent of 'prices so low we're INSANE' on the economy. So the PX prices were substantially lower than the other stores around, making the full price albums from Columbia seem even more of a gouge. I still remember how excited I was buying Elton John's Yellow Brick Road. A DOUBLE album!! I can still remember how it smelled when the cellophane came off. I think I may have done that in the car, not being able to wait until I got home.LittleCunningPlan.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459050510084587089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333964393145327986.post-77827029818565584462010-05-19T18:12:38.388-07:002010-05-19T18:12:38.388-07:00Reading this entry brought back so many fun memori...Reading this entry brought back so many fun memories of the little mailings we would get where all of the album covers would be displayed in this multi-fold little mailer. Remember that? I loved getting the opportunity to select from so many albums, and it always seemed like such a great deal. Well you could get albums for just pennies, sort of.
