Description

OGT Tool Undertow Platinum Record Award RIAA Zoo Promo Authentic. Original. Official. Presented to production manager Spy Matthews. Spy Matthews helped many alternative bands prior to and during Tool's youth. Most people in the music business know him from his work with Duran Duran. Want some insight into Spy Matthews? Watch this video to see Spy in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEHy0ZJwQk Wood frame measures approx. 21 inches tall, 17 in. wide, 1 in. deep. Notice how black paint is removed. Spy gets lots of these, and many of his other wood frame awards also had their paint removed to reveal natural wood. Apparently that's the way Spy likes them, and I made no further changes. Of the record awards he let go, this Tool award was the only one I received. Accepting PayPal payments. Mailing only to United States address. This is from a personal collection, not a store -- no refunds or returns. General Listing Footnotes: If item described is sports cards or B-2 Stealth Bomber related, then it belonged to my dad who passed away a few years ago. All such items were willed to me, but don't consider me to be an expert on these items. I am guessing at opening bids, don't get mad at me if I don't know what I'm talking about. My dad was a physicist for Northrop from 1980 through mid-1990's, where he helped create the B-2 in Los Angeles SoCal area, a town called Pico Rivera. On weekends he ran a side business doing sports cards shows all over LA and San Diego. I still lived at home during that time, and helped him at the shows. But I was never an expert, I was mostly just a grunt hauling containers of cards to and from the booths. Whenever I covered for him during breaks at shows, I was strictly forbidden from selling high ticket cards because he didn't trust me to get a good deal. Now here I am selling all his good stuff, go figure. If this is physics or B-2 related, don't even ask, I have no idea about its backstory; he didn't even tell us his work was for the B-2 until about a year before its first-flight, sometime around 1989. If item is music related, especially Tool, Rage Against The Machine (RATM) or Soundgarden, then it's my own, and I should be able to answer any question about it. I was actively involved in all types of promotions, record stores, radio stations, and concerts in the LA area from late 80's through much of 1990's. I haven't followed most bands too closely after year 2000'ish, but back in the early-mid 90's I saved a lot of those promotional items that came through our work. Although I later moved to San Diego, and ultimately Portland, Oregon, everything has been carefully kept in smoke-free (cigarette-free anyway) environment. Check to see if I have other listings you might want. I'm moving to Hawaii soon, the rainy side, and have been told "you can't have nice things" because apparently everything gets mildew and even mold all over it. I'd rather have someone else take care of my cool things instead of seeing them get ruined. If you get some, please treat them with the respect and care they deserve. Unless otherwise stated, everything is original, authentic items from the artists or their PR people, and mostly I've been the only owner.
