Difficult to Cure is the fifth studio album by the British hard rock band Rainbow, and it was released in 1981.

It was the first album to feature Bobby Rondinelli on drums and Joe Lynn Turner on lead vocals after the departures of Cozy Powell and Graham Bonnet respectively, following the release of Down to Earth.

American singer Joe Lynn Turner, formerly of Fandango was recruited and sang over already completed musical tracks.

[7] Allegedly, the album's cover (designed by Hipgnosis) had originally been proposed for use on Black Sabbath's 1978 release Never Say Die!.

[9] The original 1981 LP and cassette releases had the title of the fifth track as "Vielleicht das Nachster Zeit (Maybe Next Time)".
