Four Dozen Rarities Highlight Bon Jovi Box
"I Get a Rush," "Miss Fourth of July" and "Garageland" are a few of the previously unreleased cuts which will highlight the forthcoming five-disc box set "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong." Due Nov. 16 via Island, the set will feature 38 recordings that have never seen the light of day, 12 rare non-album tracks and a DVD of previously unseen interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
The songs on the box cover 1985 to 2003 and include dozens of leftover tracks from recording sessions for Bon Jovi albums. Other songs set for inclusion are "Why Aren't You Dead?," "The Radio Saved My Life Tonight," "Outlaws of Love," "We Rule the Night" and "Rich Man Living in a Poor Man's House," which Jon Bon Jovi wrote with former Eurythmics principal Dave Stewart.
The set will come with a 64-page book featuring fan testimonials and "personal content" compiled by the band.
With the release of "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong," the band is launching American XS Platinum, a premium level of membership in its fan program that allows participants to gain access to exclusive footage online as well as passwords for pre-sales on concert tickets.
