Chu-Bops Bubble Gum Beatles Miniature Album Collection





















Between 1981 and 1983, Chu-Bops produced 9 different series of 3" X 3" grooved bubble gum records housed in replica LP sleeves with a song lyric on the back. Each LP sold for 35 cents apiece. Series six featured Elvis Presley, series nine The Rolling Stones, and series eight covered 16 Beatles albums on the Capitol (and AHDN soundtrack on United Artists) label. Presented here are scans from my collection (thanks, Jeff) of ten different Beatles mini albums, still sealed. Looks like the White Album suffers the same fate as its vinyl counterpart - ring wear!

More Trading Cards: The River Group, 1993




































Here are some scans from the 1993 trading card set from The River Group. These are very easy to come by if you wish to search them out for purchase. These excellent pictures are large hirez scans, so click to enlarge them.

The last photos are some I took to celebrate the release of The Beatles' remasters. My best friend had purchased these Japanese Beatles figures for me a couple of years ago, and I hadn't taken them out of the box until 09.09.09 to take these festive photos!
