2 Very Special Bon Jovi Projects

Richie's versión is better than Bon Jovi Demo. but I would have liked to include in this edition, along with "Cadillac Man" and "In America" though.

Don't care what som thinks here. I'm so insanely excited about this. To get the absolutely amazing NJ demos in nice quality is a dream come true. Can't wait!

Agreed ! And im even excited bout AAA . I havent watched it since i threw my video recorder away 15 years ago !

Because it was previously released. The stuff on disc 2 was not.

I'm kinda wondering what they're gonna do for the other albums. How much unreleased (at least officially) stuff is left from the KTF sessions? They'd have a great DVD with An Evening With, but as for a second CD, is there really that much? Cadillac Man might fit this time around, but that's all I can think of.

Either way, if this one's reasonably priced, I'm in. There's some great stuff among the previously unreleased tracks. Just let's hope they improved the audio quality.

It would be cool IF AAA was originally shot in 16:9 (which I doubt it was) and NOT "cropped" from 4:3 to 16:9, which is basically chopping off about 15% of the top and bottom of the picture for the sake of fitting nicely onto a modern TV. I hate it when people do that. It is what it is.

I wouldn't say I was an expert, but I have The Circle and What About Now in SHM-CD format from CDJapan and, whilst I don't have the regular CD's to compare them to, they're still overly loud and compressed just like most modern CD's so I doubt you'll gain anything ordering this from Japan. Unless Japan get an extra Super Deluxe Edition with an extra bonus CD of more rarities (like the Box Set did) then I'd save your money and get your home version.

I'm pre-ordering this and I'm perfectly happy with it's content. I have the New Jersey demos in very low quality but due to this, they never gave me any listening pleasure, so it would be great for me to rediscover them if they're being released to a studio-level standard if that makes any sense. Access All Areas and New Jersey: The Videos both hold importance for me in themselves as it's through those two videos I discovered the album and really became a fan back in 2001. I'd only owned Crush at that time, plus I'd downloaded a few other songs prior so I didn't really "get" the band at that point. Plus I'd been meaning to watch AAA again for quite a while now.

Well, I pre-ordered it.

No, that would be an abomination. As Dave said, unless it was actually shot in 16:9 back then, all you are doing is chopping off the top and bottom of the original video and zooming in. Releasing something like this officially is saying the audience is too retarded to know better. If you want to fill that wide screen up, put the DVD in and change the aspect ratio setting which varies from make to make. Pretty much every widescreen TV has this built in. No need to actually release it that way so those that just want the original footage preserved have to suffer so that the ignorant can think they are watching HD.

Bon Jovi announces plans for an extensive 30th Anniversary catalog campaign with Island/UMe. The initiative will launch with the July 1st release of the seminal album New Jersey in a remastered 1-CD and digital edition, a 2-CD and digital Deluxe Edition, and a 3-disc (2-CD/1-DVD) Super Deluxe Edition. More 30th Anniversary commemorative titles, including newly-compiled collections of studio and live recordings, will also be released this year.
