Dick James and Brian Epstein established the Beatles' publisher Northern Songs. Later James founded, with son Stephen, the DJM record label and recording studios which signed Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The award is in VG condition, considering its age with typical scratches on the wood frame as is expected. The record label, presentation plate, and gold disc (made by Disc Award Ltd. and featuring their distinctive dragon logo) are in excellent condition. The original backing paper is also intact with original New York Frame & Picture Co. sticker.

These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 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.

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 Goldaward with RIAA Goldaward with RIAA Goldaward with In VG conditio A first presentation award from 1974 Presented to music publisher/label owner Original back with original manufacturer's sticker "White matte" awards (obviously so-named due to the white matte used) were made from from "White matte" awards (obviously so-named due to the white matte used) were made from from RIAA white matte awards numbered only 5-25 plaques worldwide for any given single/album Award measures approx. 13" x 17" Beautiful and rare collector's item for any Elton John fa FREE insured shipping to U.S. and Canada International shipping available
