Gold records

Years ago, a musician interviewed on TV claimed that he scratched the surface of the gold record he was awarded, only to find that it was another band's album, cheaply spray-painted gold.

I was always skeptical about this, thinking that maybe the guy was indulging in a playful leg-pull, but, no, when I asked a member of Simple Minds about his own gold discs, he said they do just spray any old vinyl disc.

So there you go, some useless trivia for y'all.

you'd think they'd spray the right one... imagine von getting a 5ive one. if von ever released anything to sell that many

Do they use Cds or vinyl these days?
