Bon Jovi / “New Jersey”: anniversary deluxe editions on the way

BJSDE_3D_2

Bon Jovi are working on an extensive 30th anniversary reissue campaign programme which launches this July when their 1988 album New Jersey is re-released across two different physical formats, including a 2CD+DVD ‘super deluxe’ set.

The album was originally conceived as a double-LP with the working title Sons Of Beaches, although that plan was eventually abandoned and Mercury Records chose to issue the familiar 12-track version retitled as New Jersey

As well as a remastered New Jersey, the forthcoming two-CD deluxe and 2CD+DVD editions both feature the 13 Sons Of Beaches demos which have been remixed exclusively for this project. This adds up to over an hour of previously unreleased music. The first disc in both sets also appends a small selection of rare B-sides to the album proper.

The three-disc ‘super deluxe’ edition adds a DVD which features the behind-the-scenes documentary Access All Areas: A Rock & Roll Odyssey (receiving its North American debut on DVD). The film’s director, Wayne Isham, also directed all the music videos for the New Jersey singles and they all feature here, including two versions of Bad Medicine.

More 30th anniversary commemorative titles, including newly-compiled collections of studio and live recordings, will also be released this year. Until then, these deluxe editions of New Jersey are out on 1 July 2014.

Hi, what stores can I find the super deluxe edition of New Jersey when it comes out on July 1st. I am trying to avoid shipping costs. Thanks so much!

Warren Mason

“House of Fie” is apparently Bon Jovi’s demo of the Alice Cooper hit written by Desmond Child.

Wazza

£26 on amazon uk now , still a bit on the high side but I’ve got to have it

Tim H

How much?!?…if the prices don’t come down to the Simply Red ballpark, we’ll be seeing the same type of fiasco as we did with Cyndi Lauper….all we’ll need to match it are enclosed instructions from JBJ on how he managed to maintain his mane of hair….

bob

Wow, big prices when compared to the Simply Red packages posted a couple of days ago. More than 4four times the price on one set for one less disc.

Lee

Never mind that. When do we get ‘Bon Jovi’ and ‘7800 Fahrenheit’ as deluxe editions? They got them in Japan years ago!
