Miss Fourth Of July 100% should’ve been on the album. One of the best if not THE best outtake this band has. Although given the fact that Jon has expressed that the song was very painful for him at the time I also understand why it was left off the album in the end.

Still a real shame though.

4 out of that 7 songs you mention were not written during the KTF-era:
The Fire Inside is from 1994
Cadillac Man was written during the NJ tour.
We All Sleep Alone was written for New Jersey as was House Of Fire.

Besides that, it's purely a matter of personal taste. In my opinion, the only song worth being on the album is Radio. The other songs aren't bad at all but not good enough to be on the album either.

Not that it’s such a big deal at all but according to my understanding, We All Sleep Alone was written before the NJ era. It can be found on Cher’s self titled album, released in 1987. So I would say it was supposedly written for SWW.

Correct me if I’m wrong, though.

According to the liner notes, Bon Jovi the band is actually playing and singing the background vocals on the track.

Would be my assesment. I think the album could have been much stronger if the bonus tracks were part of the proper album instead of some of side b.

I Believe
Keep the Faith
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
In These Arms
Bed of Roses
If I Was Your Mother
Dry County
Starting All Over Again 5/5
Fear
Miss Fourth Of July 5/5
The Radio Saved My Life Tonight 4/5
Little Bit of Soul
Save A Prayer 5/5

That would be a killer album to me!

Choosing I Want You over Miss Fourth of July is the one that really baffles me...

I would say this is probably Jon's absolute best vocal performance on an album. I love the tone and the vitality, it's just amazing.
