Nirvana "With the Lights Out" RIAA Platinum Award. Presented to Record & Tape Traders to commemorate the sale of more than one million copies of the 2004 triple-CD and DVD single box set. Rumors of a posthumous Nirvana box set first surfaced in the mid-1990s, not long after the death of singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain in 1994. It was eventually announced that a 45-track box set would be released in September 2001, to mark the 10th anniversary of Nevermind, but it was delayed by a legal battle between Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, and surviving Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, primarily over the song "You Know You're Right." The matter was settled in 2002, opening the way for the anthology set. The award is framed to an overall size of 27.5" x 23.5" and in Excellent condition.
