Elvis Presley RIAA Awards from the 1992 Graceland Redesign
The following RIAA Platinum Record Award IS a special offering to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Graceland's redesigning of Elvis Presley's racquetball court/trophy room. Only recently has the court been returned to its functional glory as a court, but in 1992 it was covered floor to ceiling with Elvis' Gold and Platinum awards. At that time, Graceland sought to update to their Awards for Elvis' various singles and LPs, many of which had achieved Gold and even Multi-Platinum status and many of which had never even been certified! The offered award emanates from that same period and was produced with the copies that ended up on the walls of Graceland. Rockhurst will continue in upcoming auctions to present offerings from this group of RIAA awards.
Offered is an RIAA Platinum record award for Elvis Presley's 1969 single "In the Ghetto", released April 14, 1969. While immediately certified Gold in June 1969, it was finally certified Platinum on March 27, 1992. The award measures 13 x 17 inches and presents with little to no wear. Near Mint to Mint condition.
