The red-hot vinyl record market has drawn the attention of press makers and subscription service Columbia House, plus a national microbead ban is signed into law.

    That's funny. I was just thinking about that too. I remember as a kid back in the 70s joining Columbia House and receiving the ten 8-tracks for a penny after joining the "club". I remember you had the choice of getting either records or 8-track tapes on most of the releases.

    I joined it again in the 80s when CDs came out. Since the sale of digital hard copies is way down, Vinyl is the obvious choice for them to consider as a niche' market.

    Something not quite right here. I thought Columbia House just filed for bankruptcy. How can they now be getting into vinyl? By the way, I would certainly love to see vinyl truly come back with new presses and operations :)

    Wife informed me of this.
    Very cool.

    Man, I remember those get 10 for a penny, just buy a few at regular price.
