Autographed Hard Rock Album: Hand-Signed by Ted Nugent
This entry showcases an authentic centerpiece of 1970s hard rock and arena guitar history: an original 1978 vinyl LP pressing of Weekend Warriors, hand-signed and dated on the front cover by legendary guitarist, vocalist, and "Motor City Madman" Ted Nugent. Released in September 1978 by Epic Records, this platinum-certified release served as Nugent's fourth solo studio album.
First gaining national prominence in the late 1960s as the lead guitarist for The Amboy Dukes, Ted Nugent built a reputation as one of hard rock's most energetic live performers and riff masters. Launching a massive solo career in 1975, Nugent scored back-to-back multi-platinum classics like Ted Nugent, Free-For-All, and Cat Scratch Fever, before later co-founding the 1990s supergroup Damn Yankees alongside Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades.
Produced by Tom Werman, Lew Futterman, and Cliff Davies, Weekend Warriors reached #24 on the Billboard 200 chart and reinforced Nugent's signature high-velocity guitar style. The album features fan-favorite hard rock anthems including "Need You Bad", "Weekend Warriors", "Smokescreen", "Tight Spots", and "Good Friends and a Bottle of Wine".
The front cover displays Jeff Cummins's dramatic fantasy artwork depicting Nugent firing a shotgun-guitar while straddling a stage amplifier. Positioned prominently across the center of the artwork over Nugent's pants leg graphic, Ted Nugent has rendered a bold signature in blue felt-tip marker ("Ted Nugent '03"), accompanied by his hand-written year inscription ("'03"*). Complete with its original Epic Records vinyl LP disc, the album comes authenticated with an official Basic Certification Card from James Spence Authentication (JSA) (Certification Number: T68403). Showing light, age-appropriate handling consistent with its 1978 release, this autographed album serves as an essential centerpiece for 1970s hard rock collectors, guitar archivists, and Ted Nugent fans.
