Britannia Music Club (1969–2007) was a British mail-order company owned by PolyGram which sponsored the Brit Awards.
The company was acquired by Universal Pictures as part of PolyGram in 1998, and closed in 2007.
[1][2] The direct marketing format was to offer an unbeatable discounted offer from PolyGram's catalogue, such as an offer of four albums for £1 each - or Solti's recording of Wagner's Ring for the Britannia Classical Club - which then required the member to buy six CDs in the first year and three in the second year at full price.
The company also engaged in on-line sales from 1998 to 2007.
[3][4][5] The club is mentioned in the song "Uffington Wassail" on the 2000 album Trouble over Bridgwater by Half Man Half Biscuit.
