Aerosmith 'Pump' Multi Platinum Award Plaque

This RIAA Multi-Platinum Record Award commemorates the sale of more than 4,000,000 copies of Aerosmith’s 1989 album Pump, released by Geffen Records. The award was presented to music publicist Mitch Schneider in recognition of his contributions to the album’s promotion and success.

Pump marked a commercial resurgence for Aerosmith, blending hard rock with pop sensibilities and producing hit singles such as “Love in an Elevator,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” and “What It Takes.” The album received critical acclaim, cemented the band’s status as one of the leading rock acts of the era, and won two Grammy nominations.

The award includes a unique painted design on the interior of the plexiglass, adding a distinctive visual element to this commemorative piece. Representing one of Aerosmith’s most commercially successful albums, the record award serves as a tangible artifact of late-1980s rock history and a testament to the enduring popularity and influence of Aerosmith.
