Who bought 12 CDs for a penny??!?!

Ah, the good old days. Flipping open the Sunday paper, pulling out Parade Magazine and finding gold in the back pages: Columbia House Records and Tapes.Twelve of your favorite albums for one penny. CDs, cassettes, vinyl, even 8-tracks over the years. Sure, you had to buy a few more at full price—but to a Gen X teenager, that first package showing up at the door felt like Christmas.Bill and Gary look back at the glory days of Columbia House, the fine print nobody read, and the postcard you absolutely had to remember to send back before the next “selection” showed up on your bill.Then the guys jump around the musical time machine: Debbie Gibson’s Out of the Blue turns another year older, Belinda Carlisle is somehow 68, and we say a fond farewell to ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, who passed away this week at 77.It’s a jam-packed musical edition of Gen-X Men—just remember to mail back the postcard before they charge you for this month’s selection.#GenX #GenXMen #ColumbiaHouse #80sMusic #90sMusic #DebbieGibson #BelindaCarlisle #ZZTop #MusicNostalgia
