Lookin' for Trouble is the 1980 debut album of Canadian rock band Toronto. Most tracks on the album were released as a singles.[2] The U.S. release uses different cover artwork and excludes the final track "Let's Spend the Night Together". The album reached Platinum status in Canada,[3] but did not chart in the US. The original cover art was designed by Hugh Syme and was originally intended to be the cover art for Max Webster's High Class in Borrowed Shoes.
