BMG Music Service stopped accepting new members this week, marking the end of the once-ubiquitous “12 for the price of one” offers that the mail-order CD club was known for.
A spokesperson for BMG Music Service parent Direct Brands confirmed Tuesday that the music club is no longer accepting new members, although she declined to comment on whether the company plans to shut down the club completely. “We are still very actively engaged with our existing member base and will be making more changes to serve them…more effectively later in 2009,” the spokesperson said.
So no more getting a John Tesh or a Yanni cd, forgetting to send it back and then having to give it away as a gag gift!
/sad days indeed
