"Shangri-La Dee Da" is the fifth and most recent studio album by Stone Temple Pilots. It was released on June 19, 2001, by Atlantic Records. "Shangri-La Dee Da" was originally planned to be a double album until vetoed by Atlantic Records. While recording the album, the band also worked on a documentary and coffee table book. Neither was released, however, limited footage was made available through the band's official website in the form of live performance-based music videos. "Shangri-La Dee Da", which was certified Gold by the RIAA, was a commercial disappointment for the band after the commercial success of their first four albums. As of 2008, the album had sold 364,000 copies. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003786847]

Planned double album

In late 2000, lead singer Scott Weiland said that the band planned to record a double album. Shortly after work got underway, bassist Robert DeLeo said that goal looked realistic, stating:

"Scott's in a space right now where we're not cramming to just get a single record done — he's in a space where I think a double record is possible."

The band's label, Atlantic, was hesitant about the idea and the band eventually conceded.

Documentary and coffee table book

Chapman Baehler filmed a behind-the-scenes documentary as the band recorded the LP in their beach villa-turned-recording studio. According to Baehler, the documentary set out to be like a modern-day version of the 1970 Beatles documentary "Let It Be". The film follows the band through preproduction and hammering out new songs to putting the tunes down on tape. Baehler explained that the artistically-filmed documentary included beautiful and moody shots with either Dean or Robert playing an old organ in a secluded wing of the villa, Robert and Scott playing "Wonderful" acoustically, and some "totally awesome rock-out live stuff" in the main recording space.

As an established rock photographer who has shot STP for years, Baehler was initially working with the band on a coffee-table book when they approached him about the documentary. The project was Baehler's first venture into filmmaking; all of the footage was shot by him and his sister, Rebecca Baehler. The film and the book were planned for release in late 2001.cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1442547/20010405/stone_temple_pilots.jhtml|title=Stone Temple Pilots Finish Recording, Preparing Documentary|author=Teri vanHorn|publisher=MTV News|date=Apr 5 2001|accessdate=2008-04-10]
