Miscommunication between Wig Wam's Norwegian label and Frontier Records caused the latter to use the "Wall Street" single artwork for the cover of the European album version.[4] The artwork the band intended to use for the cover was used for the Norwegian and Japanese editions.[5] Wall Street was Wig Wam's last album before the members split up in 2014 and reunited in 2019.[6]
