Amazing official white-matte RIAA platinum sales award “Presented to The Beatles to commemorate the sale of more than one million copies of the Apple Records pop single record ‘Let It Be.'" Framed with its disc and plate to an overall size of 13.25 x 17.25; the paper backing features its original New York Frame & Picture label. In fine condition, with expected light scuffing to the wooden frame.
Sales awards made directly for the artist are quite rare and of considerable desirability. RIAA awards presented to The Beatles, however, these examples are virtually unobtainable given the band’s legendary status. This gold record for ‘Let It Be,’ the band’s penultimate and 19th No. 1 hit single in the U.S., only adds to its already immense appeal. Written and sung by Paul McCartney, ‘Let It Be’ was inspired by his late mother Mary Patricia McCartney, who passed away when he was just fourteen. This classic Beatles song proved to be the group’s final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band in April of 1970.
