Freebies
How about some talk about the record companies. More specifically,
I'm referring to adds by companies like RCA and Columbia (that
wonderful name!) who advertise free records if you join their
clubs. As I get into more an more things, I find myself on
more and more ``sucker lists.'' These are no exception. Last
week, I got a thing from RCA that offered me 6 free records/tapes/etc.
if I agreed to buy 3 more albums at ``regular cost'' over the
next three years. The very next day, I got something from Columbia
offering me 11 free tapes/lp's/etc. PLUS one extra free one
(why don't they just say 12 free?) if I agreed to buy 8 albums
at ``regular prices'' over the next three years. Not only that,
but I could select my first ``regular cost album'' now, buy it
at half price, and only have to buy 7 albums over the next 3
years. What is the catch that they say doesn't exist (or does
it really?)
