Offered Here: Allman Brothers Band 1972 Eat A Peach In-House Platinum Award Presented to Gregg Allman. This is a rarely seen Capricorn Records in-house Platinum Record Award, personally presented to Allman Brothers Band co-founder Gregg Allman. The award was issued by the band's label to commemorate the sale of more than one million copies of their 1972 album, "Eat a Peach." Unlike other awards typically issued by the RIAA, this in-house award connects directly to the band's inner circle and label, underscoring the significance of the Southern Rock era. It measures 19 1/4 inches square, making it a distinctive memorabilia piece from a legendary figure and album in rock history.
Additional Information: The album "Eat a Peach" by the Allman Brothers Band was released in February 1972 as a tribute to band member Duane Allman, who passed away shortly before its completion. The album features a mix of live tracks and studio recordings taken from sessions in October 1971. It includes fan-favorites like "Melissa" and "Blue Sky" and was both a critical and commercial success. It reached number four on the US albums chart and was certified Platinum shortly after its release, further cementing the band's influence on the genre of Southern Rock.
Provenance/Authenticity: From the Capricorn Records collection.
Condition: This award is in rather good condition, with common signs of wear, aging, and storage evident. Specific condition notes include spotting and marks on the top clear plexiglass and the black acrylic backing board. Despite these age-related markings, the award remains fully intact and highly displayable, making it a significant piece of music history.
