  Yes - my SO has got many records from them - mostly boxed sets. They
  appear to be the original pressings - nothing on the records or boxes
  to indicate a special pressing - and the quality is indistinguishable
  from store-bought. They have a large selection with frequent additions -
  mostly classical, some *pops*. Their *regular* prices are a bit on the
  high side - particularly when you add in postage&packing - but when you
  consider their *bonus coupons* (given when you buy at regular price) and
  frequent special offers (usually 50%-off deals) - it seems to work out
  well.

  The big drawback - common to all those record clubs - is the fact that
  you have to send back your postcard before a certain date or you
  automatically get the current *default* record.

  Personally, I much prefer shopping in a record store - mail-order just
  doesn't satisfy my consumerist cravings (:-)), and besides, I'm now
  shopping for CD's, which the record clubs don't yet seem to be aware of!
