The gold certification recognizes sales of half a million copies for this single release which was first issued on the A&M Records label on June 11, 1975. A special thanks goes out to Mary Ingman whose tireless efforts working with Universal Music Group ultimately led to the completion of the required audit to verify record sales and the certification of gold status by the RIAA. Many people have contributed to this accomplishment as noted by Mary Ingman in the paragraphs below. The success of "Never Been Any Reason" doesn't fall into the hands of just one person. It involves the hard work of many dedicated and talented people. Starting with Mike Somerville, the songwriter, to Roger Boyd who produced an incredible album, the "Flat As A Pancake" band members (Roger Boyd, Steve Huston, Mike Somerville, John Schlitt, and Dan Birney), the A&M Records label, Mary Ann and Jerry Milam of the Golden Voice Recording Studio, etc... All played an integral part in producing a well-known and liked record such as "Reason." Fans interested in learning more about the RIAA certification process and the critieria for certification should visit the RIAA website at the address linked below: https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/certification-criteria/ |
