Whitesnake - Trouble (Full album 1978)

“Trouble” is the first 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. This followed the 4 track EP Snakebite, later available in the US as an import album from continental Europe.
This album also features for the first time Coverdale's former bandmate in Deep Purple Jon Lord.
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 because his first child was born during the album's recording.

“Trouble” (Necaz) este primul album de studio al trupei britanice de hard rock Whitesnake, condusa de fostul vocalist de la Deep Purple, David Coverdale. A atins locul 50 in UK Albums Chart cand a fost lansat in octombrie 1978. Lansarea a urmat dupa EP-ul de 4 piese “Snakebite”, care a fost disponibil in Statele Unite ca album de import din Europa continental.
Acest album il are pentru prima data si pe fostul coleg al lui Coverdale de la Deep Purple, Jon Lord.
Albumul a fost inregistrat la Central Recorders Studio in Londra in timpul verii 1978. Martin Birch a produs albumul, care a fost inregistrat si mixat in 10 zile.
Conform lui Coverdale, unul din motivele pentru care albumul s-a numit “Trouble”, a fost ca primul lui copil s-a nascut in timpul inregistrarii albumului.
