Since I interviewed Dave Bryan and saw the band live last year, I'm really looking forward to hearing this...
Bon Jovi has announced an extensive 30th Anniversary catalog campaign with Island/UMe. The initiative will launch with the July 1 release of album New Jersey in a remastered single CD and digital edition, a double CD and digital deluxe edition and 2CD/1DVD Super Deluxe Edition.
More 30th Anniversary commemorative titles, including newly-compiled collections of studio and live recordings, are scheduled for release this year.
Released in September 1988, New Jersey spent four weeks at No. 1 in the U.S. and spawned five Top 10 singles (“Bad Medicine;” “Born To Be My Baby;” “I’ll Be There For You;” “Living In Sin;” and “Lay Your Hands On Me” – the only rock album ever with that many Top 10 hits. The album is multi-platinum in the U.S. and has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
Bon Jovi originally envisioned the album project as a double LP, using the working title Sons Of Beaches. But Mercury Records released the album as a 12-track single LP and the band renamed it in honor of their home state. With the new editions, the one originally imagined by Bon Jovi can finally be shared with fans.
The 2CD deluxe edition which will also be available digitally, includes the remastered original album, plus three bonus tracks which were originally released as B-sides or CD-single bonus tracks. The deluxe edition's second CD features the 13 Sons Of Beaches demos: more than an hour of previously unreleased demos from the NJ recording sessions, remixed exclusively for this project.

The super deluxe edition also features the remastered original album and all of the bonus audio tracks included on the deluxe version, plus a DVD with the behind-the-scenes documentary ‘ACCESS ALL AREAS: A ROCK & ROLL ODYSSEY.’

Director Wayne Isham, who also directed the music videos for Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet and New Jersey singles, followed the band around the globe with a documentary film crew to chronicle the entire New Jersey tour, including Bon Jovi’s Homecoming concert at Giants Stadium, the band’s history-making concert at Lenin Stadium in Moscow, and their visits to iconic landmarks and historic concert venues around the world.
The extensive footage was edited for 88-minute film released in 1990 on VHS, but never before available on DVD in North America. Also included on the set’s DVD are the seven official music videos commissioned from Isham for the New Jersey album. The super deluxe edition will be housed in a special DVD-sized digipak with a 60-page softcover book including rare photos and memorabilia.
