'''The Columbia House Company''', simply known as '''Columbia House''' and formerly known as '''CBS Direct Marketing Services''', was an umbrella brand for CBS Records' mail-order services, the primary iteration of which was the '''Columbia Record Club''' (later known as the '''Columbia House Record Club''' and the '''Columbia House Music Club'''), established in 1955. The brand had a significant market presence during the mid-to-late 1970s, as well as the 1980s and early 1990s. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Columbia House operated a joint venture with Disneyland/Vista Records (an umbrella music company formed in Q1 1971 from a merger between the labels Disneyland Records and Buena Vista Records; later known as Disneyland/Vista Records & Tapes and Walt Disney Records), called Vista Marketing, Inc., which sold albums from both Disneyland and Buena Vista.
