20th Anniversary Limited Edition 180-gram, 2 LP Reissue Mastered by Kevin Gray

Bryan Adams' sixth studio album, 1991's "Waking Up the Neighbours", is loaded with show-stopping arena rockers and mid-tempo ballads including five hit singles. The most notable track is the "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves" movie theme "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," which spent seven weeks atop the US pop charts. The song became Bryan's biggest hit ever and one of the biggest selling singles of all time, topping the charts in 16 countries and selling about 10 million copies worldwide. It was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Grammy Award in 1992 for Best Song Written For A Motion Picture or Television.

Additional singles that followed included the rockin' "Can't Stop This Thing We Started," which became a No. 2 hit, the mid-tempo ballads "Do I Have To Say the Words" and "Thought I'd Died and Gone To Heaven" and the fun, straight-ahead rocker "There Will Never Be Another Tonight." Adams co-produced the album with Robert "Mutt" Lange, previously known for his work with AC/DC, Foreigner and Def Leppard.

Audio Fidelity is proud to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of "Waking Up the Neighbours" and to honor Bryan Adams who has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide, toured six continents, garnered 21 Top 10 hits, earned nominations for three Academy Awards and five Golden Globes, received 18 Juno Awards, an American Music Award, five ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards for Most Performed Song from a Motion Picture and his music  has appeared on more than 40 movie soundtracks.

Released 10 years after Adams's debut record, WAKING UP THE NEIGHBORS continues in the hard-rocking tradition of its predecessors, but there are some notable changes. Here, Robert "Mutt" Lange, producer of AC/DC and guiding hand behind a number of other successful hard rock acts, is now Adam's fulltime songwriting partner instead of Jim Vallance, who had co-written all of Adams's early hits. Many of the latter had a touch of heartland melancholy, but these songs are more concerned with the human heart. The love song "Everything I Do (I Do it for You)," featured in the movie ROBIN HOOD, was an enormous hit. Lange's heavy-metal influence is evident here, with Adams serving up a fine approximation of an AC/DC song on "Hey Honey--I'm Packing You In," while "Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven" carries with it the unmistakable flavor of Def Leppard. But in general the emphasis, as always, is on hook-heavy rockers with catchy choruses like "Can't Stop This Thing We Started." Whereas on earlier records Adams had spiced up his songs with traces of social consciousness, this set is back squarely in love-and-lust territory.

    • Mint = Only used for sealed items.
    • Near Mint = Virtually flawless in every way.
    • Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
    • Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
    • Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

    The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).
