Unique Atlantic Records label award for The Escape Club hit single "Wild, Wild West". Released on July 15, 1988, the track topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 but ironically the British group did not chart in the UK with the song.

A unique label award, it is designed in a shadow box and included toy "wild west" items along with a presentation plate celebrating the success of the single and album. The track and album were indeed each certified Gold for 500,000 in sales in early 1989. (Note that this is not a RIAA award).

It is presented to Atlantic records executive Judy Libow, who started in radio and worked at Atlantic Records for 16 years, much of the time as VP of Radio Promotion.

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.
