Fleetwood Mac

Comes from 'Germany' award disc

Rumours - Platinum BVMI

FLEETWOOD MAC Rumours (From the personal collection of John Courage, Fleetwood Mac's Tour Manager for more than a quarter of a Century, we have a 1977 German official BVMI PLATINUM award to commemorate sales of more than 500,000 copies of the LP in Germany, presented to John himself. The textured background has a silvered LP mounted above an engraved dedication plaque. Measuring 19" square, framed and glazed. Given that this was the year that Germany started to issue their own awards, this must have been one of the first issued, which might explain why it is accompanied by a nice similarly framed [14½" x 12"] photograph of John & the band with their awards, taken presumably at the party. Ms. Nicks appears to be being a little cheeky to the photographer!)

Tracklisting & More Information

This item comes direct from the personal archive of former tour manager, John Courage. Despite having connections with a UK national brewery of note, John decided that the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle was more to his taste.

In September 1972, he was poached from being the road manager of Savoy Brown to become the tour manager of Fleetwood Mac, just before the release of the 'Penguin' album & subsequent tour.

Since that date until his retirement, he stuck with the Mac through thick & thin, seeing in the arrival of Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks to the band, creating a very new sound for the former Blues band.

We are all aware of the effect that the 'Fleetwood Mac', then the mega-hit multi-platinum release 'Rumours' had on the band. The tours went from halls to stadiums in a couple of short jet propelled years.
As the internal madness began to compete with the fan frenzy, John remained with the band through this incredible period, even though for one of his birthdays the band decorated his Hotel room with fifty chickens & bales of straw!
Throughout these visions of excess, the music continued to flow as freely as the parties, resulting in sellout tours the world over.

John found himself slowly acquiring a selection of items that were given to him by members of the band at various points over a distinguished career that lasted in excess of twenty five years.
These gradually took up more & more space until, finally, John decided that some of them must go. What you are looking at here is one of those items.

Its history is impeccable. Its provenance guaranteed.

From the personal collection of John Courage, a one-off collectable from the tour manager of one of the biggest groups of all time.
