The Moody Blues, "Long Distance Voyager" (Official 1981 US RIAA Certified PLATINUM Award presented to MCA MUSIC to recognise sales in excess of 1,000,000 copies of the Threshold/Polygram Records album.) The plaque is dedicated directly to 'MCA MUSIC' where it was displayed as one of the crowing achievements of the band's enduring legacy. Record company award discs started their life as 'Gold Discs' with the first of these awarded by RCA to Glenn Miller in February 1942, celebrating 1,200,000 sales of Chattanooga Choo Choo. Most countries have followed the original RIAA 'Gold Disc' certification which was pioneered and trademarked in the USA.
