Elvis Presley RIAA Awards from the 1992 Graceland Redesign
This RIAA Platinum Record Award is part of 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 copy that ended up on the walls of Graceland. This is the second of several offerings from this group of RIAA awards.
Offered is an RIAA Double Platinum record award for Elvis Presley's 1957 single "All Shook Up", released in March 1957, it was finally certified Gold, Platinum and Double Platinum on March 27, 1992. “All Shook Up” was a massive hit for Elvis, topping the U.S. Charts for eight straight weeks, while topping the R & B and Country charts as well. The award's plaque reads "Presented to Elvis Presley to Commemorate the Sale of More than 2,000,000 Copies of the RCA RECORDS Single Record 'All Shook Up". The award measures 21 x 17 inches and presents with little to no wear. Near Mint to Mint condition.
