Rare original-period Sony Music Australia gold album sales presentation award for Alice in Chains’ landmark album Dirt.

Presented specifically to Australian heavy-music publication HOT METAL for gold album sales of Dirt by Sony Music Australia in September 1993.

The framed award features:

• Alice in Chains Dirt album artwork
• Gold-coloured compact disc
• Columbia Records emblem
• Australian flag emblem
• Recipient-specific engraved presentation plate
• Original large gold-coloured frame and red crackle-effect mount

The plate reads:

“Presented to Hot Metal for gold album sales of ‘Dirt’ by Sony Music Australia, September 1993.”

This is a recipient-specific Australian music-industry presentation piece, not one of the readily available modern decorative Dirt plaques.

Vintage condition with visible age-related marks and wear to the frame, presentation plate, mount and glazing. The award remains highly presentable. Please inspect every photograph carefully for condition.

A significant piece of Australian music-media history associated with one of the defining albums of the grunge era.

Due to its size, weight and glazing, local collection is preferred. Specialist insured delivery may be arranged by agreement.
