Bon Jovi will release a 25(!)-records box set via Universal in February 2017. “Bon Jovi: The Albums” as it will be called will contain all the band’s releases plus some more albums. 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. The box set’s release will coincide with Bon Jovi’s start of the tour for “This House Is Not For Sale” in the States. Here’s what’s included:
