All auctions / Music & Musical Instruments / Styx The Grand Illusion 70s A&M Records Award
A&M Records 1970s label award for Styx album The Grand Illusion. Released on July 7, 1977, it featured the hit singles "Come Sail Away" and "Fooling Yourself", and the title track also got much radio airplay. The album rose to #6 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. This label award from A&M Records is presented to Keith Chambers, who worked in marketing and promotion at AEI Music, Cypress Records and Horizon Music, the latter of which was distributed by A&M at the time. It's likely the award was made in 1977-78 given that the album was indeed certified Platinum by the RIAA in Dec. 1977. (Note that this is not a RIAA award). This award has a unique black plexiglass shadow box design and is in VG condition with minor mars.

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. Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide. *RIAA sales data source: RIAA.com A&M Records sales award for Styx album A&M Records sales award for Styx album Award features plexiglass shadow box design which was a common type of award for some record labels in the late 70s/early 80s Presented to record promotions executive Estimated to have been made in 1977-78 based on RIAA certification date In VG conditio Award measures approx. 18" x 21" x 2.25" deep Great collector's item for any Styx fa FREE insured shipping to U.S. and Canada International shipping available
