Description

The Beach Boys Today! RIAA Gold Record Award (1965). The beginning of their departure from the guitar-driven surf sound, this album featured more complexity both lyrically and in the production. It reached #4 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned three chart singles. According to the plaque beneath the gold disc, this award was "Presented to The Beach Boys to Commemorate the Sale of More Than One Million Dollars Worth of the Capitol Records Long-Playing Record Album The Beach Boys Today!" Awards presented to the recording artists themselves are seldom offered and are very desirable. Framed to an overall 17.5" x 21.5". (Please note this piece has been cleaned and re-sealed with new backing.) Requires Third Party Shipping.
