I did, in the early 70's. Columbia House.I sent in a penny, got 10 albums and an option to buy other albums cheap - including the 'album of the month' which would be sent to you unless you returned a card saying you didn't want it.My older brother explained to me that a 12 year old could not be held responsible for a legal agreement so I didn't have to pay. They continued to send me records for three years. The total amount I sent them was a penny. Anybody else?

getting nostalgic now, particularly those back of the newspaper cut-outs w/ the circle to tape the penny onto.
i was really stressed that i had paid nothing for my death row records/wu tang collection
i got a letter from BMG like 3 years later and i was like here we go
i gotta pay up
they were saying the club was going bankrupt and they thanked me for my loyalty
We loved this track from "Beat Street"
Me and my hommie Terry Fua did a version of this for our sixth grade Xmas talent show. A few girls did a dance routine to "Cool It Now" and that's just about all I remember of it.
besides this awesome video? Happy Bornday, Waxjunky!!
Same thing.
I remember running out of hip hop tapes I wanted to get and ordering some R&B etc. hoping that I wouldn't be disappointed.
Oooohhh... On the TLC did not do it for me.
I also remember my mom taking away the New Jack City soundtrack I had ordered... I can't even think of why. It was before I even opened it. I remember being highly pissed.
A couple later I picked it up on CD, opened it, and listened to it. I remember being highly pissed.
There were some good items I got from Columbia House though. For instance I do believe I still have my BDP Live Hardcore Worldwide tape floating around here somewhere.
