I was glad it was released. Interesting to see what he could do when he was 18. This work should be interesting for aspiring rockers. They can see what Jon wrote when he was 18-20 and compare it with their own work. It may give them some ideas.

That's what I'm talking about. For folks like you it's nice to have this to compare.

My CD is simple called "John Bongiovi", which has 20 songs but no photos or anythin on the album sleave, just a glossy-type picture of "John" on the front holding a mic.

I bought it about a year ago for about £5.99 in HMV and I still put it on now and again. Some of the songs are very good and a close connection to Springsteen. Some of the guitar work on the CD is very good indeed too.

I've only heard a few songs and I think they're great, esp. when you considered how young Jon was at the time.

My fave (of the few I've heard) is What you want!

I think its not that bad. And like what someone said, its a lot better than some of the stuff being released now from other artists.
