Total Control is the first solo album by John Norum, the guitarist in the Swedish hard rock band Europe. It was released in 1987.
The album features two cover songs, "Back on the Streets", written by former Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent with country artist Richard Kinky Friedman and originally recorded by the band 3-Speed for a 1984 movie soundtrack, and "Wild One" by Thin Lizzy.
The album´s producer Thomas Witt is/was Norum´s stepfather, a former drummer for Eddie Meduza and a high-ranking manager at CBS/Sony in Sweden at the time.
Total Control is dedicated to Tommy Östervik, one of John's friends and heroes, who died in a drowning accident the same night as Europe played a concert that later was broadcast on Swedish television.
All songs were written by John Norum and Marcel Jacob, except where noted. Most of the Norum/Jacob credited songs can be found in earlier demo form with Jacob´s former band Power.
