Wild Weekend was a Siren-tour boot released by Scorpio Records and it got pretty heavy distribution. I saw it at close to a dozen different shops across the southeast. The problem was that it was taken from an FM broadcast with a little static and interference in a couple of places.
A few years later, a better copy of the FM master, not a copy from the broadcast, was sourced. This went into distribution with a fan in the DC area creating an amusingly revised cover. Unfortunately, neither my scan of the front nor the back are worth a darn. The back's just filled with artifacts and there should be an interior photo to go with the front. Any upgrades out there? Surely somebody can put the Scorpio CD on a flatbed and scan it at 600 dpi... we didn't all pass up on the silver CD because we had a CD-R at home, did we?
As for the original image, yeah, that's the band in front of one of those beautifully tacky old Holiday Inn signs adapted for the cover. The original picture might have first appeared in the pages of the cheeky American rock magazine Creem.
