Inc. in Brooklyn, NY, who were not an authorized RIAA award manufacturer. However, there are numerous titles that were made for record labels by this manufacturer for artists including Aldo Nova, Saga, Adam Ant, and others. It is, as such, a real industry award, in this case presented to Ron McCarrell, who was VP of marketing for Epic/Portrait/CBS Associated Labels at the time. The award is in VG condition with some scratches on the frame, and its front has been replaced with plexiglass but otherwise all components are original down to its black velvet matte. The award has its original manufacturer sticker from Starship Framing. Interested in knowing more about RIAA and other record awards and what makes them great to add to your collection?

These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece. As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description. Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide. *RIAA sales data source: RIAA.com RIAA Gold LP award In VG conditio Award from 1982-83 Presentation to Portrait Records executive Made by framing company not authorized by the RIAA Made in the style of a "floater" award Award measures approx. 17" x 21" Great collectors item for any Aldo Nova fa FREE insured shipping to U.S. and Canada International shipping available
