I signed up last month. Got my first disc 5 days later. The disc was complete but it did have the "manufactured for the record club" marking on the back but the product was all there. I think the trick is the club counting on subscribers to not keep their queue full and then being billed 5.99 for nothing. Although I have an extensive CD collection I was able to find 15 or 20 discs, so I'm good for the next year and a half. I too was amazed at the prices. One 4 disc Peter, Paul & Mary box set I have been looking at was 1/2 the price of other on-line sellers. A negative is I can not use multi-disc sets for queue fullfillment. They have to be ordered separately. The selection is not like Amazon or some of the others but it had enough to make it worth my while.
There are major problems with their search engine and what they considered related artists. I was looking at the Phil Collins list and Genesis was not listed as a related artist. I did a search on the The Byrds and got nothing found but I kept linking around and eventually turned up a good size list of Byrds discs.
The killer in the old record club deals was the huge S&H adder. That is gone in this deal.
