The award measures approximately 17 3/4 x 21 3/4 inches and is connected to an executive pivotal in shaping the genre.
Additional Information: Released in 1973, "Brothers and Sisters" was the Allman Brothers Band’s fourth studio album, marking their first album to reach the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The album got widespread acclaim and catapulted the band to international fame. Its success is largely attributed to the mainstream appeal of tracks like "Ramblin’ Man" and "Jessica," which helped solidify the band's legacy in the Southern Rock genre.
Provenance/Authenticity: From the Capricorn Records collection.
Condition: The award is in very good condition, showing typical signs of wear, ageing, and display consistent with a 1970s presentation. There is some staining on the lower left matting from past liquid exposure, but the overall presentation is clean and the gold disc and plaque maintain their visual appeal.
