- I've been a member of both Columbia House and BMG for years, and I'd like to
- add the following observation.
-
- For classical music, CH and BMG carry different (and almost mutually exclusive)
- set of labels. CH mainly carries CBS and Sony, while BMG mainly carries DG and
- London. Thus, for classical music fans, it make sense to subscribe to both.
