I remember subscribing to Columbia record club. I think I was 11 or 12. Of course, Mom gave it the ok. 😂 It was exciting to get those long awaited albums in the mail. We played them over and over. Carpenters, Chicago and Jesus Christ Superstar come to mind.
I don’t remember hanging a lot of posters in our bedroom. Susan and I probably didn’t want to ruin our self wallpaper job. I love that our Mom was absolutely fine with it. 💕
I collected LP 33 records of Broadway Hits & displayed them all over my room. I knew every word to every song of my favorites. Flower Drum Song, Carousel, Music Man, South Pacific, The King & I, Oklahoma, & many more! Wish I hadn’t given them away!
