I started both my cassette collection and later my CD collection through Colombia House and BMG subscriptions. The first three CDs I ever purchased were Vitalogy, STP - Purple, and Nirvana - Unplugged in 1994. I was 14 years old. It took me a few years to re-purchase all my cassettes on CD, but eventually I did. Then in the late '90s I got sucked into the MiniDisc "fad" for a while. I still have a copy of Vs. on MiniDisc to this day! HAHA!
I still have about 50 MiniDiscs buried in my garage. I had a friend that did promotional work for Sony and she gave them to me all the time. I also had a killer MiniDisc Walkman.

I liked the mini disc. I used to work at Circuit City back in the day, and I was a big fan. I liked how they were, well, mini. Much easier to tote around and didn't scratch as easy. I hoped they were gonna catch on, but it was like the Beta Max. It just wasn't meant to be I guess.
I'm surprised no one has said this yet but my gateway song to not only Pearl Jam, but Soundgarden, was Hunger Strike. As soon as I identified the players, I bought the all 3 cassettes throughColumbia House Record Club.
I believe I just dated myself.
I used Columbia house and bmg for a ton of my cds back in the day
Totally. That's when I started my alias collections and would'nt buy out the rest of my subscription

They weren't like beta max at all. Beta was higher quality than its competition and mini disc was lower.
