SBK Records label award for Technotronic track "Pump Up The Jam". Released on Aug. 18, 1989 it became a global hit. Featuring the vocalist Ya Kid K, it was written and produced by Belgian electronic artist Jo Bogaert (aka Thomas De Quincey).

Despite the cassingle cover showing "feat. Felly", it was Congolese–Belgian singer and songwriter Ya Kid K (a.k.a. Manuela Barbara Kamosi Moaso Djogi) and British rapper MC Eric (a.k.a. Eric Martin), who provided the powerhouse vocal performances on the track. Later reissues changed the cassette cover to show it "feat. Ya Kid K," instead of Felly, who was a Congolese fashion model who lip synced the track in the music video.

The dance club hit reached #1 on many dance charts worldwide, and also hit #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. This award celebrates one milion in sales of the track (it was in fact certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA for one million sold in Dec. 1989 but note that this is not a RIAA award). It is presented to Pete Ganbarg, who has held various executive roles in the music industry including President of A&R at Atlantic Records and President of ATCO Records, among others.

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.
