Even now with BMG as competition, Columbia House isn't a great deal. By the end of the terms, you have to: Columbia: 11 "free" plus six at full price BMG: 7 "free", buy one at full price then get three "free" I have noticed that thes are produced especially for BMG. Some friends have commented that this is equal to lower quality recordings. I'm not a real audiophile so I can't say... does anyone feel this is true? amy -- amy young-leith http://ezinfo.ucs.indiana.edu/~alyoung 1986 Shadow VT1100 (Dmitri) *Speaking only for myself* Computer Geek, Department of Psychology 855.5542
