The Beautiful South Sales Presentation
Framed 3 x Platinum sales award to recognise sales in the UK of more than 900,000 copies of the Go! Discs / Mercury album Quench 1999.
Presented to Geoff Mullin, BBC Radio 2 producer and music industry veteran.
This rare 16″ x 16″ framed presentation displays a copy of the CD Quench and plaque.
Quench is the Beautiful South’s sixth original album, released in the UK on 12 October 1998. Including the compilation Carry On Up The Charts, it was the band’s third album in a row to reach the top of the charts.
The cover depicts a boxer by Scottish painter Peter Howson. Commissioned for the album, the original painting can be seen in the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull. After the band cropped the image and used it in merchandise and promotional material, Howson took legal action against the band, receiving around £30,000 in damages. Whilst the first two singles from the album also have artwork by Howson, “How Long’s a Tear Take to Dry?” and “The Table” do not.
Professionally framed by Century Displays, Surrey, this impressive silver aluminium presentation weighs 1.4kg and will require bespoke packaging. This will increase dispatch times by 7-10 working days.
