Eight track tapes and #ColumbiaHouse -
a match made in heaven for rural #GenX kids with no money.
You don't EVEN know how many eight track tapes we ordered over the years.
Did we ever pay for them?
(Srsly, I don't think we did.)
In early 1994 this #Bewitched brochure came with the newest music cassette tape from #ColumbiaHouse. You can only imagine my excitement!! Especially since at that point I'd never seen the first season.
There ended up being 20 tapes total, 4 episodes each, a total of 80 episodes of only #DickYork.

Remember when you could get 8 CD's just by taping a penny to a sheet of paper

#ColumbiaHouse
#ColumbiaHouse was a popular mail-order music and video club that operated from 1955 to 2010.
Members could purchase discounted albums, CDs, VHS tapes, and later DVDs, with a "buy one, get one free" or "8 CDs for a penny" type of promotion.
In the early part of 1994 this brochure came with the newest music cassette tape from #ColumbiaHouse. You can only imagine my excitement!! Especially since at that point I'd never seen the first season of #Bewitched. There ended up being 20 tapes total, 4 episodes each, for a total of 80โฆ1/๐งต
