I don't get this? There are lossless rips of the whole HAND advanced copy.

What do you think about the songs Keep The Faith, These Days, and Destination Anywhere? 1998 was a much different time and my vote goes towards it being a pretty decent song.

No the opposite. They are not available.

Did Jon really say that at the BB King gig? Any other details he disclosed about Burning Bridges or the 2016 Album?

Maybe yes, maybe no.
My point is that just the fact that a song is used as a title track or thought of to be the title track says nothing about its quality. Over the years we got some pretty good ones and some pretty bad ones.
If Sex Sells was such a good one and Jon knew it so that he wanted to call the album after it why didn't appear it on the record? Why didn't we even get it as a b-side?

My theory: Jon wanted to call the album Sex Sells and wrote a song with the same title. He wasn't satisfied with the result and stopped the whole idea.

If were were getting another 4 disc Box Set then sure, load it up with better quality tracks of songs like Nothing, Shadow Dancing, Good Ain't Good Enough, Etc...

But based on the current info we have, we are getting an 8 track ep... Not demos but mastered tracks... I kinda see this project as similar to Michael Jackson's latest album XSCAPE (only Jon being alive). They grabbed 8 tracks that were previously recorded and had a producer come in to remix / remaster them. That's kinda how I'm envisioning this project.

Who knows, they could go far back and pull an old song out of the vault. With Richie now gone, maybe Sex Sells would be the go to area.

That's the only thing I heard. Wasn't there myself but fans who were supposedly told that.

That's a good theory but not exactly how the story goes (another discussion, another thread)... But I still think that back in day, title tracks held more weight on an album then they do today. I also think that the title name is cool and Jon vocally delivered a song much stronger back then so my vote goes towards it being a somewhat cool song.

What I didn't get was not the statement. There are lossless rips of the whole HAND advance cd; thought it was well-know hence my confusion.

Facts so far:
New album composed with outtakes from the very last releases.
There's no brand new material for 21 August (maybe for us ).
There's going to be a brand new album on next April-May.
This thought-out strategy has much to do with Richie's departure.

What we still don't know:
8 or 15 songs, 1 or 2 discs
