Trouble is the debut studio album from British hard rock band Whitesnake, led by former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale. It reached No. 50 on the UK Albums Chart when it was released in October 1978. [8] This followed the four track EP Snakebite, later available in the US as an import album from continental Europe.
The album was recorded at Central Recorders Studio in London during the summer of 1978. Martin Birch produced the album, which was recorded and mixed in ten days.
According to Coverdale, one of the reasons the album was called "Trouble", was that his first child was born during the album's recording. [9]
Trouble was remastered and reissued in 2006 with tracks from the EP Snakebite as bonus tracks:
