Description

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO WIN A PIECE OF REAL PUNK HISTORY. IT'S AN ORIGINAL RIAA GOLD RECORD INDUSTRY AWARD, SIGNED BY TOPPER HEADON.

IT WAS PRESENTED TO AN AMERICAN RADIO STATION BY EPIC RECORDS IN RECOGNITION OF 500,000 SALES OF THE CLASH ALBUM COMBAT ROCK. THESE AWARDS WERE MADE IN VERY SMALL NUMBERS FOR RADIO STATIONS WHO HELPED WITH AIRPLAY. IT HAS BEEN SIGNED CLEARLY IN RED MARKER PEN BY TOPPER HEADON THE BRILLIANT CLASH DRUMMER WHO WROTE ROCK THE CASBAH VIRTUALLY SINGLE HANDEDLY. TOPPERS SIGNATURE IS THE HARDEST TO FIND. IT COMES WITH A PHOTO OF TOPPER SIGNING MY COLLECTION IN HIS HOUSE IN 2004. THE AWARD IS VERY RARE AND IS ABOUT 23 YEARS OLD, IT IS IN EXELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW SCUFFS ON THE FRAME. IT WAS PRESENTED SOON AFTER COMBAT ROCK WAS RELEASED IN 1982 .......... IT IS THE TOP ITEM IN A EXCELLENT CLASH COLLECTION WHICH IS LISTED AT THE MOMENT........... IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH MY GOODS FOR ANY REASON, I OFFER AN EXCHANGE, OR FULL REFUND.

THE INCREDABLY LOW STARTING PRICE IN NO WAY REFLECTS THE TRUE VALUE OF THIS ITEM...GOOD LUCK!!!
