BON JOVI FINALLY GET PERFECT NEW JERSEY RE-ISSUE PLANNED:

Bon Jovi will celebrate 30 years of living in sin with a massive catalog reissue campaign that kicks off July 1st with a remastered edition of their 1988 album, New Jersey. That record, which reached Number One on the Top 200, contained five singles, including the "Bad Medicine," "I'll Be There for You," "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "Living in Sin." The new version of the record will appear in three iterations, a single disc reissue, a two disc deluxe edition, and two CD, or a two CD/one DVD super deluxe edition, the latter two packed with bonus material.

The two-disc deluxe edition will feature three bonus cuts initially released as B sides, as well as 13 previously unreleased demos from the New Jersey recording sessions that were originally intended to appear on a double-LP titled Sons of Beaches. The deluxe edition will also come with a 32-page booklet filled with insider commentary on the bonus cuts and rare photos from the New Jersey recording sessions and ensuing world tour.

Looks interesting....

 

I'm almost ashamed to say it...But never got the New Jersey album on CD...Had the cassette that I pretty much wore out though

 

This might be a good chance to finally pick it up and get some cool bonus materials along with it.

[JLPRocks]

Nice.....I'm sure I'll pick up that Deluxe Edition!

[Kristian]

His best album to date.

12. Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore? Kane Roberts cover?

8. Now And Forever Richard Marx cover?

 

Does anybody know if these are cover versions?

"Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?" was written by Jon Bon Jovi. It has been recorded by Kane Roberts and also Cher.

[Captain Howdy]

Yeah as said, while it looks like a cover, strictly speaking its the original version. Have had it for years now, and its a good version. The Kane Roberts version is better, but thats mostly because the Jovi version is just a demo rather than a full blown produced track.

 

The interesting thing for me is that it has Love hurts on it. For years a version of the song was doing the rounds as a Bon Jovi cover, but was actually Corey Hart, so will like to hear what the actual version by Jovi sounds like.

[Juan Carlos]

I'll buy this one for sure. New Jersey was the best BJ album IMHO.

[Mullethead]

Finally...something to be mega excited about in the BJ camp!

[glam_junkie]

these bonus tracks are awesome! had all the demos forever, so great they get a proper release.

 

excited especially for 'house of fire' which i've only heard really bad quality demo version of.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

I don't own a single Bon Jovi release. This will be a good first purchase.

[shamus]

Deluxe version for me then. NIce to have the Lizzy cover amongst all the other goodies being offered up. I only recently purchased New Jersey on cd. Couldn't resist it brand new at 99 cents at the local supermarket.

[Kristian]

I've always thought that it was such a shame that "Ride Cowboy Ride" was not a full, three and a half minute track.

i think there is a full / longer version of this floating around..... i think.

 

Love For Sale also... the original is twice as long but it was cut / down edited for the album release.
