The Beatles  Abbey Road  Gold Sales Award
The plaque on this white matte style RIAA award reads: “Presented To The Beatles To Commemorate The Sale Of More Than One Million Dollars Worth Of The Apple Records Long-Playing Record Album ‘Abbey Road.’” Certified gold by the RIAA on 10/27/69, the group’s final studio album topped the U.S. album charts for eleven weeks and remained in the top forty for 32 weeks! In addition, the double-sided Harrison-penned “Something” and Lennon’s “Come Together” both went to #1 on the singles chart. The mini-LP cover photo has been replaced, and the restored 17.5 x 21” frame exhibits a few dings and scratches.
