Stevie's own gold record for "The Wild Heart" on eBay??

[HejiraNYC]

Okay, is this for real? Any skeptics out there? I am soooo tempted... but one question. How on earth did this get out of Stevie's hands? Is there a mole in Camp Nicks (cough-Christopher-cough)??

Wowza! I would have no idea, but that's amazing.

[GypsyBlueEyes]

but one question. How on earth did this get out of Stevie's hands? Is there a mole in Camp Nicks (cough-Christopher-cough)??

ahahahahaha...that made me laugh! The original dealer was named Christopher...a different last name though. What do you think...alias?? :lol:

[gypsy4life]

Why would Stevie not have this??? Would she even know it was missing? Wouldn't she want it back?

[Musicman408]

... someone wanna tell me why Stevie would be getting rid of this???

[GypsyBlueEyes]

She probably doesn't know that its missing. Is it possible that (if she were to think about it) that she would think it was in storage or something? I guess when you have more than one house and have a lot of possessions to pack when you move from one place to another (and have other people packing them for you), its easy to assume that something is just packed away somewhere. Either way, that's not something you just wake up one day and decide you don't want anymore. If its legit...and if she doesn't know its floating around waiting to be sold...I'm really sad for her. That's not something that should be sold like this IMO. It just seems wrong to think that its up on ebay :(

You'd be surprised. I have an award that I bought off ebay. The celebrity it belonged to had a yard sale at her home and it was part of a "lot" of items the ebay seller purchased there. Sometimes, it's not that these things aren't special, but it doesn't necssarily mean they're going to decorate their home with them...

[IKV Nexis]

Yes but also there are more than one made of these things. They go to the artists, record execs and other "industry people" connected to the label and the making of the record. So it could have come from anyone.

[GypsyBlueEyes]

Hmm...that could be true. I didn't think of it like that. I guess there is no way to prove that the seller is correct in saying that it once hung on her wall.

I thought those were given specifically to the industry people etc., and would have their names on them?

[daniellaaarisen]

I once saw a Wild Heart gold record priced around $2000 in a memorabilia store in Maui... and it was DEFINITELY Stevie's, as the owner of the store had pictures of her with it when she apparently recieved it.... and he also had pictures of her signing the back, which is obviously still visible. Sooooo I donno.

Yes, but generally these RIAA awards are actually custom-addressed to the recipient- even to minor industry insiders. Stevie is the recipient of this one (supposedly). But then again, that doesn't discount the possibility that Stevie may have received multiple plaques... but a record can only go "Gold" once (as opposed to multi-platinum), so it wouldn't make any sense for them to make multiple gold awards with Stevie as the addressee. :shrug: I am just so not versed on these things.

Is it possible that this could have been among the trove of items sold in the Modern Records garage sale (which yielded all of those master tapes)?? Perhaps she received the award and then promptly left it somewhere in a coke/alcohol-fueled party haze? Does anyone have any intel on how these awards are made/awarded? Or was it an inside job... by... oh, I don't know...

I have a gold record for another release that was presented to Stevie. It used to hang in the Modern Records office in New York when they had that office open. The artist can get multiple copies of a single award made up for themselves if they (or their management) pays for it.

Well, considering that The Wild Heart went Platinum on the same day it was also certified Gold, its entirely possible that the Gold album award, rendered superfluous, ended up in someone's private collection because Stevie gave it away, or something.

[LukeA]

I'd also like to add (as others have commented) that just because it was "presented to Stevie" doesn't mean a damned thing. Stevie could have ordered fifty Gold Wild Heart records to give to everyone listed in the back of her tour book- all "to Stevie Nicks". Its no trick to get a Gold/Platinum record- everyone from low level record label staff to advertising agencies to concert promoters get these things. No big deal. This listing is overpriced.

[GODDESS6]

& can i add too, i have bought many, many things from this seller on ebay over the years they have downsized their collection & everything i have bought from them was on the level~ i remember them having an awesome stevie mac collection w/ alot of rare items~

Thanks for pointing that out, about the ordering and the pricing. Artists, etc. apparently do order them. On a recent show I was watching an artist made the comment her gold records were stolen and she just recently had "reordered" them.

Yeah, I suppose then that this gold record is no big deal, although it would be a cool knick knack to acquire at a lower price point.

I'm skeptical. I have Glen Parrish's (well one of them). It's one of my most treasured pieces. This looks really old school and if it's authentic, I'd love to get my hands on it.

[gldstwmn]

ahahahahaha...that made me laugh! The original dealer was named Christopher...a different last name though. What do you think...alias?? :lol:

The RIAA award I have was shipped to me by none other than Christopher Nicks so take from that what you will.

[gldstwmn]

She has more than one. I hope it's not stolen.

You're correct.

LOL...lets put it this way...I'm not surprised.

[~GoldDustWoman~]

Granted I agree she wouldn't have this hanging up, i find this to be a fake for starters wouldn't it have a certificate of authenticity? also i doubt she would just let someone take this.

[starshine]

Well....I also know this seller and he is 'on the level' he's a very nice guy & at one time had probably one of the largest Stevie collections around. I myself have 'one' of these WH gold awards though not presented to Stevie ....its to Modern Records...I probably paid just as much as he's selling Stevie's for. He doesn't sell 'junk'.....I've gotten alot over the yrs from him. I have one & I wished I hadn't spent as much as I had on mine.....cause theres not much to them really. So thats why I stopped purchasing them. But some people want everything......I've kinda lost my interest in the 'everything ' mode sometime ago. Not that there isn't some stuff I wish I could still find....but I'd give some of the stuff up that I have to get what I'd love to find. Anyway, he's a nice guy.......he does have or has had some great stuff....he used to put an ad in Goldmine magazine yrs ago....for those that used to read through that publication......anyway.....just my 2 cents.......:thumbsup:

Record awards are most valued if presented to the artist, next up is to the producer, the the label and then insiders and radio stations. As far as I know, an artist can't just say "make me 40 awards", the RIAA presents them to those who helped make the album a success. The RIAA might give the artist a handful awarded to the artist or the label or whoever. By the way, the records on these awards aren't usually the actual album being awarded. It used to be, but it got to be too complicated tracking down the correct album. So they just have a stack of records and dip them in gold or platinum and slap the correct label on those.
I have the platinum award for "Rock A Little" awarded to Modern Records. Probably paid too much for it, but it hangs in my living room and everyone asks if it's a real award.

Anyone can make a certificate of authenticity. :shrug:

[GODDESS6]

yep, i've seen where you can print one right out on your computer~

[tlssln]

I couldn't say when this was but I thought I remembered Stevie once saying that the only award she ever kept was the one she got when Dreams went #1. I have a Rumours RIAA Platinum Award that was presented to Stevie, also purchased on eBay. I really don't think the awards themselves mean all that much to her just because that's not why she does what she does. It sounds corny but, she does it because it's what she's always wanted to do and she does it for us.

[CADreaming]

I saw that too (you closet Real Housewives of Atlanta fan)! :p

Not a "fan" really. But, certainly curious as I live in Atlanta. It's more comedic to me than anything. I prefer the Orange County girls to these jokers they've got reppin' my homeT.

You're correct.

Thanks!

The RIAA award I have was shipped to me by none other than Christopher Nicks so take from that what you will.

I did hear he was in charge of cleaning out the AZ warehouse, so it makes sense.
