Wall of Shame

I've been going through my CDs and selling off my obscure TMBG collection so I can buy an iPod. So, that makes me wonder:

Whatever happened to The Wall music stores? They were purveyors of CDs with the "Lifetime Music Guarantee". They would slap a sticker on the CD when you bought it and you were supposed to put the sticker on the jewel case. If the CD ever went bad (i.e. you scratched it or something) you could take it into the store and as long as it had the sticker on it, you could swap it out for a new copy of the same disc. I remember saving the sticker once and using it on another CD, and I also remember disassembling cases to get the sticker onto a different CD. I'm sure that type of thing helped put them under...but I still have discs with the stickers on them! I guess the definition of "lifetime" in this case is "until the stores go under."

Hey, I'll buy some of your obscure TMBG collection. For better than most stores that buy & sell used, too, probably. Send me an email or drop my my page.
