Gold record presented to Atlantic for the success of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"

Outstanding official white-matte RIAA gold record sales award “Presented to Atlantic Records to commemorate the sale of more than one million copies of the Atlantic Records pop single record ‘Whole Lotta Love.'" Framed with its gold disc and plate to an overall size of 13.25 x 17.25; the paper backing features its original New York Frame & Picture label.
