About Chu-Bops:
Chu-Bops were a fun little collecting hobby in the early 1980's. An Illinois company called "Amurol" bought the license to dozens of popular album covers and reproduced them as little 3" X 3" cardboard albums, complete with a phonograph-record-shaped piece of bubble-gum, and either a song lyric or a picture inside a fold out cover. They were sold in a variety of retail stores all over the world, especially record stores. But sales dropped off after a few years, and another Illinois company gave it a go (without the fold-out covers), but soon they too discontinued the operation.

This one is in very good condition with very slight signs of wear - it's been opened and the gum was removed a long time ago, but that means that there are no stains or indentations due to the gum sitting there, decomposing for the past 30 years.

This is a fun collectible that takes up very little space - Get it today!

For your interest, here's the copy from an early Chu-Bop's ad:
As we enter the 1980s, popular music has become one of our most important means of artistic expression. For other generations, it may have been movies, theatre or painting, but young people today have shown that their music is most important of all. As a result, record album covers have also grown tremendously as an art form in their own right. People of all ages collect records and also collect the exciting and colorful jackets that come with their favorite albums. Before the rise of the Beatles, very few people paid much attention to album covers, but once the Beatles became giant superstars, their fans couldn't wait to get every new record they put out and to have each new album cover with its brand new group photos and information. From that time on, rock 'n' roll music has become one of the world's most popular pastimes, the importance of the packaging in which the records come has also grown tremendously. Nowadays, many of the world's best known photographers, designers, illustrators and fine artists regularly contribute their talents to pop music album covers!
Every year album covers by major stars become real collector's items and people build collections that become more valuable each day! You are now one of the first of a new group of young art collectors by joining in on the Chu-Bops™ mini album cover collection.
