Vintage and in great condition, this is a 1977 label award (i.e. non-RIAA) made by Disc Award Ltd. celebrating Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" going at #1 on the Billboard Country singles chart for five weeks. The song also won the 1979 Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. The track also rose to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Parton's first major crossover hit.

It is presented to a radio industry executive Bob Hamilton. The award is all original including having the Disc Award Ltd. logo engraved on the gold disc, engraved plate, black felt matte and award manufacturer's stamp on the rear. 

Item Highlights:

• Disc Award Ltd. record label in-house gold record award for Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" (Note: Not an RIAA award, although Disc Award Ltd. awards are typically seen as the most valuable of in-house awards)
• Made in 1977 making it 44 years old
• In VG to Excellent condition with shiny gold record and a few mars on the frame but perfect glass and black velvet matte
  
• Award measures approx. 12" x 12"
• Great historic collectors item for any Dolly Parton fan 

This award is in VG to Excellent condition, despite its 44-year age. Although it has the usual nicks and mars on the frame (nothing major) it was obviously well kept over the years, resulting in very little fading of the matte and label and no tarnishing of the gold record. It also has its original back with "Disc Award Ltd" stamp.

Notes on the condition of all vintage record awards like this one: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece.

As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description.
