Time for my embarassing little secret: I'm a member of the Columbia House record club, mainly because you can get some mainstream stuff (and some not so like a Johnny Thunders box set) for cheap. Anyway, last week their Classical section disappeared from the website and some items that I was planning to buy suddenly became unavailable. I contacted Columbia House and they confirmed that they're removing the classical selections because they "haven't been able to provide the range of music that Classical buyers are looking for." Which translates as "we're not getting the range of money we'd like to see" since they don't have any trouble providing a range of, say, hip-hop which doesn't have a few centuries worth of back catalog. Could jazz be next? Lang -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?" "You know, for a second there, yeah, I kinda did."
