The RIAA established the Platinum Record in 1975. The first album that was award this was "The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits" which sold in excess of 25 million copies. "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was NOT an industry award but was established in house by the record company to recognize Irony Butterfly's album sales since there was nothing that existed to recognize their sales and more of a marketing ploy.
