Bon Jovi - Sessions from the Vault Discs 8 & 9 The Orignal New Jersey
Back in 1988 Bon Jovi intended to release a double album as a follow up to the multi-platinum juggernaut "Slippery When Wet".
The record compnay got nervous about the higher price point and decided they would only release a single album.
Well as this demo of the comple sequenced proposed double album shows, the record company was wrong.
Great songs and great sound quality makes this a must have for all Bon Jovi Fans.

This is the final piece of the Sessions Box Set.
This box comprises all know Bon Jovi and solo demos which have not been released as B-sides or otherwise in an official manner.
There is a early demo release of the most recent Bon Jovi CD "Have a Nice Day" which contains unreleased and different version of all songs.
While the pre-release version of HAND was never sold, it was released about 6 months early to select critics and media members for review, critique.
The version was also individually digitally watermarked during one song, making each copy traceable to the original owner.
Versions with the watermarked portion clipped out are available though I am uncertain if sharing here is appropriate or allowed.
Enjoy
