I'm def. satisfied with the improvement on sound quality and just love the rawness of the track as a whole. In my opinion, way better version than the final one used for New Jersey.
By the way. One aspect I found intriguing are the differences in the lengths of most of the tracks compared to the bootlegs that most of us already have. I do not have all of the bootleg demos so you'll have to compare with what you have:
1. Homebound Train
Deluxe version (6:32)
2.Judgement Day
Bootleg (3:57)
Deluxe (4:1 
3. Full Moon High
Bootleg (4:14)
Deluxe (4:42)
4. Growing Up the Hard Way
Bootleg (4:44)
Deluxe (5:31)
5. Let's Make it Baby
Bootleg (6:01)
Deluxe (5:56) * I assume this means this is the talk box version.
6. Love Hurts
Bootleg (4:16)
Deluxe (4:49)
7. Backdoor to Heaven
Bootleg (5:13)
Deluxe (5:51)
8. Now and Forever
Bootleg (5:29)
Deluxe (5:34)
9. Wild is the Wind
Bootleg (4:27)
Deluxe (4:55)
10. Stick to Your guns
Deluxe (5:15)
11. House of Fire
Deluxe (5:01)
12. Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?
Bootleg (4:26)
Deluxe (4:57)
13. Diamond Ring
Deluxe (4:10)
So what does this mean? Hmm..
From this evidence. No indication of any hidden tracks, extended/alternative versions of some of these songs......Who knows? What do you guys think this means? One thing is for sure!!! The sound quality on Homebound Train is given me a taste of something sweet that for years i've been hoping for and at the very least we're getting improved sound quality for these awesome demos and can be properly played side by side with other Jovi songs.

If I recall correctly, the speed and/or pitch on the bootleg demos is off and someone did a version where he tried to fix it (something like "high quality" demos on YouTube). Maybe the lengths there will compare better to the iTunes listing? Just a thought, have no time to check on that now...
