Waking Up the Neighbours

Waking Up the Neighbours is a rock album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams released in 1991. The album was recorded at Battery Studios (England) and The Warehouse Studio (Canada), mixed at Mayfair Studios (England) and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk (New York City). Everything I Do... was notably at Number 1 in the British charts for a record-breaking 16 weeks.

The album was also notable in Canada for creating controversy around the system of Canadian content. Although Adams was Canada's biggest recording star at the time, his collaboration with the British Robert "Mutt" Lange meant that under the rules in force until 1991, Waking Up the Neighbours did not qualify as Canadian content.

In September of that year, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced that the Canadian content rules would be changed to allow collaborations with non-Canadians.
