"Disturbance at the Heron House" turns up on Document, the 1987 R.E.M. album the band produced with Scott Litt, who also engineered it. It's R.E.M. in fighting shape: Peter Buck's guitar ringing and churning, Mike Mills on bass and Bill Berry on drums locking into a steady, muscular stride, and Michael Stipe singing up front with real urgency. The writing credit is split four ways between Berry, Buck, Mills and Stipe.
