Detailed Item Description: This is a first presentation BVMI Gold award that would have been manufactured around 1986 making it approximately 36 years old. It is presented to long-time Rod Stewart band guitarist Robin Le Mesurier, who played on this album. Le Mesurier also played on many Johnny Hallyday albums.
The award is in VG to Excellent condition, with only a few minor scratches on the frame and mars on the plexiglass. The back of the award shows some spotting and discoloration but frankly this is a good indicator that this award is indeed about 36 years old.
Notes on the condition of all vintage 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.
