[00:32] IsambardPrince They'd have crazy deals like you bought 13 CDs for a penny and then you were obligated to buy 5 more at "club price", which was similar to the store. And you could do that either by ordering them out of the catalog, or waiting for the "director's selection" each month to come in the mail. They'd do this nutty thing where if you didn't return it to them in a postage paid envelope, it meant you agreed to buy it. [00:33] IsambardPrince So they used it to send things that the label wanted to promote, or which weren't selling well.
