Ten Classic Bon Jovi Albums Presented As Special Editions

Aaah, I've listened to some of the tracks. Some of them are incredible (In And Out Of Love) but some are terrible (Prayer). As usual, this ended up as complete mess, bullshitting etc.. sad, really sad. They ask their diehard fans for another money, yet they can't provide them with accurate info and offer some valuable material. **** off!!!

1. Is anyone really surprised that this is a mess?

2. You're all looking at this from a Die Hard POV. Yes, they put in the vault, passes, and tracks to try and suck money out of the DH, but I'm pretty sure these are updating the albums for the general consumer. IE, the Remasters will go out of print, and in 2-3 years, these will be the only editions on the market.

I'll probably buy some of them as well. I have five versions of SWW so only for the sake of having as many versions (different) I'll buy it, even if I think this is the worst special edition I've heard so far (because I haven't heard Lost Highway yet ) - none of the songs is from the SWW era.. quite sad, isn't it?
And I will buy New Jersey just because it is the best album ever released. btw I miss the New Jersey dualdisc so much..
And I really love Fahrenheit special edition so it would be my next choice.

But I hate this concept as whole.

I'm pretty sure that Bad Name is from the Slippery era .

Maybe you're right. The intro is quite unusual for SWW era. He did those long rants etc. The fact that Richie is singing the lead in the chorus (almost the lead) suggests that it might be from SWW. On the other hand, Jon's voice is ok, so must be from very early 1987 if from SWW era.

who says I'm not gonna buy the albums?
I still wanna buy NJ and TD....
if doesnt come too expensive here in Brasil...of course...
still wanna go to the show...

After visiting both Walmart and Best Buy this evening, here's what I've discovered.

The Walmart CDs are in jewel cases and are priced at $9.00. This doesn't seem to be a sale price, since the price stickers list that price. They do NOT include the reproduced backstage passes. I bought Fahrenheit, but the store I went to had most of them.

The Best Buy CDs are in digipacks and are marked $13.99 but are on sale for $9.99 right now. They include the backstage passes. I bought SWW which was the only one that I found at the store I visited.

Neither store had KTF or NJ which were 2 that I thought I might buy today.

I got registered for the vault, signed in and validated the 2 CDs. Each CD unlocked only that portion of the vault that corresponds to that CD. An additional live track from each CD was available for streaming, but I can't buy the tracks until May 18. Silent Night is the track from Fahrenheit, and Raise Your Hands is the SWW track. Validating each CD also loaded photos from that timeframe into a gallery in the vault.

from nick,

is there going to be a different live track each month for each album, or just that one track only that they are listing, any info is appreciated

It just says that "new content" will be added every month, so it could just be more pictures. Another track every now and then would certainly be nice, though.

Yeeeeey digipacks !
Now THAT changed my mind about buying them or not !

I salute you,
