I'm not that pissed about Does Anybody Fall in Love Anymore,I'm to excited about House of Fire,Diamond Ring,Full Moon High and Backdoor To Heaven.
At least we have Kane Robert's version which is great,but I still would've loved to hear a full version from Jovi.

yeah i really love the rest of the set, allthough it's not easy getting the second disc out of the packaging... i really like the breakdown in house of fire

but that one really sticks out like a sore thumb....

Ktf,

Nick

Does it?

I'm jelious you have it already, I'm dying to give it a listen. I looked for the download last night but couldn't find it, but I didn;t go to crazy looking for it eithern since I'll have it in a few days anyway.

It would be interesting to do a smashup this.

What's a smashup?

The booklet is an interesting read. Diamond Ring, as well as Let's Make It Baby (!) were re-recorded in 1995 for These Days, the latter not being included. So *that's* when the other version came into existance :-)

Living la vida

So the high notes from Let's Make It Baby are from 95?

On the downloading debate, I do it but I try to do it ethically. I download to listen, and then buy it if I like it. I download instead of streaming, because it's easier to listen using my cell phone, which is how I listen to music 99.9%of the time these days.

There are a very few artists, like Bon Jovi, that I'll buy before the preview, just because I buy everything they put out anyway.

I'll download bootlegs w/o buying them though. I don't want to rip off an artist I like, and not just the artist, but everyone else that worked to record, and distribute an album, but I don't mind ripping off bootlegers that are ripping off the band. And the fans for that matter, I've paid up to $50 for bootlegs back in the day, never again.

From reading the introduction in the booklet, I would think so. I'd have to listen to it again though, haven't done so in ages...

Other interesting facts: All demos are produced by Bruce Fairbairn, and mixed by Obie O'Brien, except for Diamond Ring, which was mixed by Bob Rock in 1988. And Alec is credited for playing the bass (with thank you's to Huey McDonald), though I figure that was probably copied 1:1 from the original New Jersey booklet, and they didn't mess with it now that we know the truth (if we do) ;-)
