Tops started in 1947 as a company that bought and sold used jukebox singles and was based in Los Angeles, CA. It was started by Carl Doshay and Sam Dickerman. In the early 1950s they began to press their own records featuring local unknown musicians playing knock offs of current hit songs. Their overhead was low not using "real" talent so they sold the records cheaply in supermarkets, drug stores, etc. Major labels would have a hit record on side A with a lesser song on side B. Tops promoted their records as two hits on every record. By the mid-1950s, after some experimenting with longer playing 78s they were able to put two songs per side and promote "4 Hits On Each Record."
