Bon Jovi's 'Lost' anniversary; career LP box set out now

This Monday, June 19, marks the 10th Anniversary of Bon Jovi's album "Lost Highway." 

The veteran New Jersey band's first to debut at No. 1 and the last to be certified for platinum status, it was co-produced by frequent collaborator John Shanks and Dan Huff. Described at the time by leader Jon Bon Jovi as "Nashville-influenced," the Grammy-nominated release also spawned a top 30 hit in "You Want to Make a Memory."

"Lost Highway" is among the catalog titles included in the recent
comprehensive vinyl box set of 25 LPs called "Bon Jovi: The Albums." It has all Bon Jovi albums and additional titles (detailed below) for premium collectors. 

Housed in a cool-looking replica road case, each LP has full credits, photos, etc., just like the originals. For vinyl lovers who also diehard Bon Jovi enthusiasts, this box set is a must-have.

Check out the contents of the career-spanning box set in the unboxing trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HslHFMZOXYs and order here: https://UMe.lnk.to/BonJoviBox.

Island/UMe has made every Bon Jovi album from the past thirty-two years available for individual purchase on high-quality vinyl now. Fans can purchase individual albums now at https://UMe.lnk.to/BonJoviLPs

Every vinyl album preserves the original look and sound of the originals - all LP jackets are exact replicas of the original album cover and songs have been mastered to the band's specifications to ensure exceptional audio quality. There are also plenty of “firsts” – this will be the first time Bon Jovi’s albums from the 2000’s have been pressed in any territory before, others will receive their first-ever U.S. vinyl releases, while many are being pressed for the first time in decades.

Bon Jovi is best known for multiple hits like “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “You Give Love A Band Name,” “Bad Medicine,” “Always” and “It’s My Life” and a recent run of consecutive #1 albums. "Wanted: Dead or Alive" went top 10 exactly 30 years ago this month.
