Offered Here: Allman Brothers Band 1975 Win, Lose or Draw RIAA Gold Record Award Presented to Phil Walden. An original RIAA-certified gold record award commemorating the sale of over five hundred thousand copies of the Allman Brothers Band’s fifth studio album, "Win, Lose or Draw," released in 1975. This award was presented to Capricorn Records founder Phil Walden, featuring the floater-style presentation popular during this era of RIAA awards. It measures 16 3/4 x 20 3/4 inches. This award is a representation of the band’s classic 1970s period and their final studio effort from that era.
Additional Information: "Win, Lose or Draw" was released by the Allman Brothers Band in August 1975. Though the album was recorded during a period of strife and transition for the band, it still managed to reach gold status shortly after release, showcasing hits like "High Falls" and "Louisiana Lou and Three Card Monty John". Phil Walden, to whom this award was presented, was a pivotal figure in the band's history and the founder of Capricorn Records, playing a key role in promoting Southern rock.
Provenance/Authenticity: From the Capricorn Records collection.
Condition: The award is in good condition given its age, with common signs of wear, aging, and storage. The gold-painted wood frame presents some localized wear, and there are slight marks on the surface of the top plexiglass. The album cover miniature displays fading on one side. Despite these vintage characteristics, the award remains a highly presentable and authentic example of a mid-70s RIAA accolade.
