Tops Records was a giant of the budget record label world in the 1950s. Tops/Mayfield Records set the bar of budget record label releases to an all-time high, blowing the Eli Oberstien and Don Garner record lines out of the water in terms of quality and price. Every new budget record label company that joined the market in the late 1950s typically had, at least, full-color photo jackets and liner notes. Tops also issued their albums in 45 rpm EP sets; a practice larger record labels were employing at the time to make sure they were reaching for as many potential customers as possible.
Tops originally entered the market as a seller of used jukebox records, quickly issuing their own records containing covers of the day's top-charting hits. After success with cover records, they moved on to releasing full albums of various genres to fill the music interests of the mass market.

If you want to support this channel's ability to produce new content directly, consider becoming a patron at / budgetvinylworld today! As an incentive to become a Patron, in favor of the previous promise to stop running ads if I got five or more patrons on Patreon, I am now uploading exclusive downloadables of all new content as soon as I have prepared it. Thus, patrons are guaranteed to hear the complete albums seen on this channel before anyone on YouTube does.
In addition to Patreon, I have tried to increase revenue via ads. Still, YouTube is particular about what it considers a legitimate monetized view. Each one at best only generates a couple of cents a view; most views earn only a fraction of a cent. Given my average organic traffic is only a couple hundred views a day (as of June 2021), I am fortunate to earn fifty cents, if that, per day. Unfortunately, Google Adsense also has this annoying payment threshold of 100 dollars, so I only get payments of the money earned from ad revenue bi-annually, if that. Patreon patrons, along with periodic ad revenue payments, help me purchase more content and provides me, given my busy schedule as the primary breadwinner of a young family of four, some financial compensation for the hours that goes into transferring, cleaning up, and uploading content you see on this channel. A pledge of even a couple of dollars a month is the best thank you anyone can provide for my efforts.
I am also willing to sell my physical copies of the records I have digitized and uploaded onto YouTube. All records are priced at $1 each, plus the costs of shipping them media mail. The only exception is for the Seeburg 16 2/3 rpm releases, the market value for those is at least ten dollars apiece, and that is pretty much what I have to pay to get ahold of any these days. Also, I was forced to drastically purge my collection multiple times between Fall 2014 and Summer 2017, so there is a good chance for videos released before or during that time period for me to no longer possess that record in my physical personal collection to sell.
