Gold Record

According to a story that I've heard about Black Sabbath, you can. The story is in the book How Black Was Our Sabbath, which was written by two members of their road crew, and recounts a time that, while examining its grooves, drummer Bill Ward became suspicious of a Gold Record that he was awarded for the high sales of their 1970 sophomore effort, Paranoid. He apparently broke the glass and put the record on the turntable where he learned that it was not a gold plated copy of Paranoid.
