Information AboutDocument (album) |
''Document'' is the fifth studio album by R.E.M. and their sixth overall. It was released in 1987 a few months after their rarities collection '' Dead Letter Office '' appeared and is the last album of new material by the band released on the I.R.S. Records label. ''Document'' was R.E.M.'s first album co-produced by Scott Litt and the band, a collaboration that continued through Green , Out Of Time , Automatic For The People , Monster and New Adventures In Hi-Fi , and may account for their success with this album as well as the following five. This album was significant not only in launching R.E.M.'s first US Top 10 hit in "The One I Love" (which reached #9), but also giving them their first platinum album. With the band poised to become a major rock group—and perhaps to the dismay of their college rock fans—after ''Document'', their I.R.S. contract expired. R.E.M. signed a five-album deal the following year with major label Warner Bros. and saw their commercial fortunes grow exponentially. In 2005 , Capitol Records (who now own I.R.S. Records' catalog) issued an expanded DualDisc edition of ''Document'' which includes a digitally remastered version of the album on the CD side, a DVD-Audio , DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound mix of the album done by Elliot Scheiner on the DVD side, and the original CD booklet.
