13 tapes or records for $1.00- such a deal.
Of course by the time Christmas rolled around a true Streisand fan would have already purchased Songbird. But since I had just become a fan a couple of years before, I had a backlog of albums to collect. And every Christmas I would have a list from her catalogue for my parents. It would be obvious under the tree if a package contained albums, they would typically just be wrapped in paper- no box or anything. But you never knew which albums they were until you unwrapped them, so it was always a surprise.
Say what you want to about downloads and CD's, but there is nothing like unwrapping a BIG album and studying the artwork and liner notes. Another memory from a by-gone era.
