In the early 80s, Canadian rockers Loverboy released their second studio album, titled 'Get Lucky'. Loverboy were already getting popular on the strength of the debut self-titled album, with hits like "Turn Me Loose" and "The Kid is Hot Tonight". By the time 'Get Lucky' came out, the band was on their way to the top! (Yes, that's a reference to one of the singles from this album. Sorry! Lol) The cover is NOT singer Mike Reno OR guitarist Paul Dean's backside. It's actually the thirteen year old daughter of the photographer! And a male model's hand...designed to mess with our minds!


The album had two picture discs made to promote it. One was the entire album, with the cover's artwork, and the second, nearly identical to the full album pic disc, is for the song "Working for the Weekend". That single pic disc also has the cover's artwork, but with a pic of the band, in a heart, on the B side, taken from the back of the original vinyl album.


"Working for the Weekend" is that song on the A side, and the B side is the tracks "When It's Over" and "Lucky Ones". A great collectible from the early Loverboy years to have! The band is still around and still touring (they toured with Styx and REO Speedwagon in 2022). Original bassist Scott Smith, who played on all of their albums through their breakup in 1988, then again in the 90s, passed away in 2000, in San Francisco. (RIP Scott. You were there from the beginning, helping to make Loverboy one of the biggest rock bands of the 80s. You were a great musician, and you're missed!)


This will come in a plain white generic sleeve that has a gold promo stamp on it. Vinyl itself has a few light surface marks on it, but nothing too bad. I can't vouch for the sound quality of it, as I never play specialty vinyl such as pic discs or colored records. And remember, older pic discs usually sound pretty bad and have a lot of surface noise. But a very cool souvenir from Loverboy, going on FORTY FIVE years old in a couple of years, and the crazy red leather pants from the original album cover!
