Bon Jovi’s landmark third studio album, “Slippery When Wet,” is set to be reissued on February 28th in a Deluxe Edition, including a limited-edition water-filled vinyl record.
Originally released in August 1986, the album was a massive commercial success, selling over 30 million copies worldwide and featuring some of the band’s most iconic songs, such as “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.”
Among the highly limited editions available in Bon Jovi’s official store is a liquid-filled vinyl record, restricted to only 1,300 copies worldwide.
As shown in the video below, the water moves as the record plays!
Other formats available in the Bon Jovi store include a picture disc vinyl, limited to 1,500 copies, and an even rarer cassette, limited to 500 copies.
The Deluxe Edition on CD and digital formats features an acoustic version of “Wanted Dead or Alive” and four live recordings from the Slippery When Wet Tour in 1987, two of which, including “Let It Rock,” have never been heard before.
The Deluxe Edition also includes previously unreleased mixes, such as “Livin’ On A Prayer (Thank You Goodnight Remix),” briefly featured in the band’s popular documentary series, and “Raise Your Hands (Extended Obie O’Brien Mix).”
