Remembering Music Clubs

Did you all ever have a membership in a record club? There were two major record clubs that I recall. The biggest was Columbia House which was owned by CBS. The second large club was RCA Music Service which later became BMG Music Service.
Like the flyer above shows, you would join by sending them $1.00 and you would receive (offers varied) 12 or 13 records or cassettes or CD's for the money with no postage charges. But then you would be obligated to purchase 7-8 more over the coming 2-3 years "at regular club prices" plus postage and handling. They'd mail you an ordering catalog nearly every month with a featured selection. If you didn't want the featured selection, you'd have to mail them an enclosed post card saying "No" otherwise it would automatically be sent and billed to you. The initial package was always fun to receive; the subsequent purchases were a drag, lol.
Seems like BMG had the best deals because there were lower subsequent purchase requirements. I can recall having multiple subscriptions with them at my home address, work address, PO Box address because their deals were so good. Most of the CD's I still own today came from BMG.
Interestingly, both clubs were based in Indiana; Columbia House in Terre Haute and RCA/BMG in Indianapolis.
