Big Trouble is the debut and only studio album from the female pop group Big Trouble, released in 1988.
Like the formation of 60s group The Monkees, Big Trouble was an all female pop group put together by TV executive Fred Silverman. The group consisted of vocalist Bobbie Eakes, bassist Julia Farey, keyboardist Rebecca Ryan and drummer Suzy Zarow. Shortly after their formation, the band signed to Epic Records and recorded an album. The album was released on vinyl and CD in America, the UK and Europe, although it remains out-of-print today.
The album was released to commercial failure, and therefore became the band's only album. The lead single was "Crazy World" which peaked at #71 in America. The second single was "When the Love is Good" which failed to make any impact, although it did peak at #83 in the UK. As a follow-up to the single, "Crazy World" was released in the UK shortly after, where it peaked at #96.
A music video was created for both singles.
The album was produced by Grammy and Oscar winner Giorgio Moroder with various other producers on certain tracks. "When the Love is Good" was produced by Moroder and Brian Reeves, "Say Yes" was produced by Moroder, Terry Wilson and Reeves, "Cool Jerk" and "What About You and Me" was produced by Moroder and Richie Zito. "Dangerous" was produced by Moroder, Ken Rose and Reeves, "Trains and Boats and Planes" was produced by Moroder and Reeves, "I Like It" was produced by Moroder, Whitlock and Wilson, whilst "Lipstick" was produced by Moroder and Reeves.
The majority of the tracks featured co-writing credits between the various producers, with Moroder co-writing the album's two singles along with Whitlock.
The album contains a cover of the track "Trains and Boats and Planes", originally released as a hit single in 1965 by American pianist Burt Bacharach. Another cover is also included, the 1966 track "Cool Jerk" by The Capitols.
On the duet track "What About You and Me", guest vocals were provided by singer, musician and songwriter Eric Martin.
