"Chu-Bops" were first introduced into the U.S. market place as a "novelty item" manufactured by the Amurol Confection Company located in Naperville, Illinois in the early 1980’s through 1983. Each 3" X 3" inch mini album had the picture of a large sized L.P. and came in several individual collector sets with a piece of bubble gum shaped in the form of a round record album inside. Each "Bop" had a number on the back of the album so the collector could populate their collection more easily. Once opened, each "Bop album" included the lyrics to a hit song, pictures of the artist or special offers from Amurol.
Amurol also released a single set of six different "Chu-Bops" in the European countries as a test of the foreign markets. "Chu-Bops" also went by the name of "Hit Pops" and "Chu-Pops" and were test marketed in England, Japan, Netherlands, Finland, Denmark and Norway. Sales flopped and the project failed and were rapidly phased out never to be produced again.
THESE ARE VERY HARD TO FIND and WE have some MINT AND OPEN ONES
When "Chu-Bops" first appeared in stores they were each sold at a price of 29 cents per "album", and the special collectors editions
