GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
This Columbia House T-shirt celebrates a name woven into the history of music by mail. Beginning as the Columbia Record Club in 1955, the business connected members with records, stereo equipment, reel-to-reel tapes, cartridges, cassettes, and later video entertainment. Wear it as a nod to catalog browsing, record-club editions, and the generations of collectors who remember selecting albums and movies from offers delivered right to their homes.
Columbia House began with the Columbia Record Club, created by CBS/Columbia Records in 1955 to sell music directly by mail. After rapid early growth, the operation moved from New York City to a distribution center in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1956. The club expanded beyond records with stereo equipment, reel-to-reel tapes, 8-tracks, and cassettes, while Columbia House emerged as the umbrella brand in the early 1970s. CBS Video Club joined the family in 1982, and Sony acquired the CBS Records Group, including Columbia House, in 1988. In 1991, Sony and Time Warner formed a joint venture that combined Columbia House with Time Life video and music clubs. BMG Direct Marketing acquired Columbia House in 2005 and consolidated it under BMG Music Service. Najafi Companies acquired the business in 2008, renaming it Direct Brands; music mail-order operations ended in 2009 while DVD and Blu-ray clubs continued under license. The Columbia House trademark remains owned by Sony Music Entertainment and is licensed to Edge Line Ventures LLC.
