I have a friend who showed me a gold plated album but have never heard of them. I believe it was a Doors record. Wondering if that is a big counterfeit scheme or what. Are they worth anything?

It could be from a gold certification award. I have never heard of any actual gold plated albums.
Is it playable?

Gold is extremely soft and heavy. I would think that other than a novelty or an award to hang on a wall...playing one would immediately ruin it. |

My brother has quite a few. If you were involved in the production of the album you can buy one. I don't think most are particularly valuable, but there are certainly some exceptions.

Sure the needle itself is diamond but its connection to the cantilever is very fragile
Plus the diamond itself is incredibly small and fragile. Why else can you buy replacement cartridges or have your cartridge re-tipped?
