Information:
There is some conflicting information about exactly who the members of Double Trouble were, but based on the information I have gathered below I think that the team who did the megamixes were Leigh Guest, Mike Morrison and Damon Rochefort (with Leigh Guest doing it all by himself from April 1988). Then Leigh Guest, Michael Menson and Carl Brown were the members of the group for its Roadshow form and were the ones that recorded the tracks with the Rebel M.C. in 1989. This is from their Discogs artist profile...
Founder members Leigh Guest and Michael Menson met at a north London college in 1983 and began DJing at clubs and warehouse parties around London as the Double Trouble Roadshow. DJ and musician Carl Brown - later known as Karl "Tuff Enuff" Brown - joined the group in 1985.
But this lineup doesn't match the references to Double Trouble in James Hamilton's Record Mirror columns from 1988, which are as follows...
February 1988: NORMAN COOK and Dancing Danny D seem to have changed their remixing monicker from the Troublesome Twosome to Double Trouble, without evidently realising that the latter name is already used by rival remixing team Damon Rochefort, Mike Morrison and Leigh Guest.
April 1988: Norman Cook and Dancin' Danny D have reverted to their Troublesome Twosome nickname to prevent confusion with the longer established Double Trouble remix team of Leigh Guest, Mike Morrison and Damon Rochefort (whose prior claim I have upheld by referring to the newcomers as Norman C & DJ D).
April 1988: Leigh Guest, sole remaining member of the Double Trouble remixing team, has signed exclusively to Serious Records as a megamixer, while ex-partners Damon Rochefort and Mike Morrison are starting their own GRC (General Recording Company) label along the lines of Serious with a 'House Music Vol 1' compilation its first release.
July 1988: LEIGH GUEST is the sole remaining original member of the Double Trouble remixing team but still uses its plural monicker for his work (joined though as he often is these days by the separately credited Simon Goffe, fuzzily glimpsed lurking behind him here), Leigh alone creating special mixes now for Chris Forbes' Capital Radio soul show every Saturday night. Come to think of it, in this photo, Simon Goffe is (very appropriately!) the face behind the face behind the name on the label!
July 1988: Double Trouble (his mum knows him as Leigh Guest) has created a megamix for Syncopate, the 0-118-117-117-117-0bpm INSYNC 1, combining Brass Construction 'Movin', Chris Paul 'Turn The Music Up' and Carol Cayne 'What My Love Can Bring'
August 1988: Double Trouble in its roadshow form consists of mainman Leigh Guest with Michael Menson and Carl Brown, mixing it up this Friday (19) at Southend-on-Sea's Mr B's.
