It was indeed the best club by far. When I joined, I sent them 5 dollars and they sent 3 albums, with NO obligation to get any more (I don't know how they did it!). One of their special deals was -- buy 1, get 1 free, buy another, get 2 free! I pulled a sneaky trick by buying cheapies (101 Strings) and specifying good albums for the freebies. Needless to say, they quickly took the cheapies out of the selections for that special. I haven't seen any ads for RCofA for many many years. I assume they couldn't afford to be so generous. --- Tim Thompson --- BTL/Holmdel --- ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
