If you are interested in learning about Chu-Bops you've come to the right place. If you are a seasoned collectors you can simply scroll down to start your Bopin' and Shoppin' spree !!. There are several links on our site related to such artists as "Elvis", "The Rolling Stones", and "The Beatles" just to name a few Rock/Pop and Soul artists of that time and era. All these mini gums came in  series numbers of artists gums. These Album Gums came in a "Boxed Set" which was placed on the merchants checkout counter as a way of the enticing customers to buy some "Bops", the same way merchants do it today as "teaser items" while waiting in line to check out. These Counter top displays were packaged for sale to the vendor in a colorful cardboard stand-up display box with each boxed set containing 64 individual mini gum albums that depicted the original album graphics of a larger LP.

Throughout the lifetime of the "Bops Fad" there were several different kinds of "Gum Series", "Counter Displays" and "Volumes" manufactured by the Amurol Confection Company. Some customers opted to eat the gum and some purchased them as part of their own collection. You will see that many customers kept the "mini albums" in mint condition with the cellophane and gum that were specifically for collecting. WARNING !! DO NOT EAT ANY GUMS - ILLNESS MAY OCCUR

As the popularity of the "Bops" gum albums rose, Amurol also introduced four sets of "Special Edition Collectors Album Flats". They were numbered as Volume 1, Volume 2, a generic un-numbered Volume and an Elvis "International Gold Collector’s Edition". Each individual Volume was populated by 16 mini albums.
