Did anyone else mail order music albums?

The baseball tee came with Poco's Legend and was a print of the album cover.  I became a Poco fan.  Gerry Raffertey, not so much.  I recently found and bought a slightly larger version of the shirt.

Yep, If I remember correctly the deal was 3 albums for a penny each upon agreeing to a automatic full price 3 album buy, and an automatic rolement to a monthly buy. Same shit happens today with "act now and" crap today too.
