Title: Golden Award from Switzerland First Album
Post by: Klaus74 on November 28, 2024, 01:05:46 PM

Now i´m the proud owner of a Golden Disc Award for the first Dire Straits record from Switzerland. Presented in August 1979 by Phonogram Switzerland. Terry Williams got that award in the year 1985 for a Welsh charity auction called "Swansea for Ethiopia" which took place in the music-club "Barons Club" in Swansea. The two former club-owners, father and son, Bill and Alistair Hughes bought that award in 1985 from Terry to raise money for that mentioned charity-event. Now i´m the happy owner of that Dire Straits artifact.I found it online in UK.
Sorry but i cannot upload a picture of my award-disc. I have photos on my smartphone, but the data is too big. So i need a little help to downsize the photo-data.

Wow, nice one. Would love to see it!  Take a screenshot from your phone, and this analysis would be quite smaller.
