Description

Double platinum sales award presented to the 'King of the Blues'

Highly displayable official serial number hologram-style RIAA double platinum sales award presented to "B. B. King to commemorate RIAA certified sale of more than 2,000,000 copies of the Reprise Records compact disc and cassette 'Riding with the King.'" Impressively framed with its plate and small album image, two CDs, a poster of King and Eric Clapton playing side-by-side, and a stylized guitar amplifier background to an overall size of 16.25 x 24. Award retains its original backing with Jewel Box Platinum label. In fine condition. Sales awards made directly for the artist are quite rare and of considerable desirability, with this appealing 'amp-style' display, honoring the success of King and Eric Clapton's Grammy Award-winning album, a must-have keepsake for the blues aficionado.
