In the comments section, music enthusiasts have already started chiming in. One fan expressed excitement about the collection, particularly appreciating the sealed duplicates from the box set. In response, I acknowledged that while duplicates can be interesting, they do take up valuable space. However, if anyone is interested in trading for albums like ‘These Days’, ‘Keep the Faith’, or even ‘New Jersey’, just let me know!
Another fan chimed in, sharing their enthusiasm for the “glory years” of Bon Jovi, particularly noting a desire for some of those 12-inch singles. Their current collection only includes ‘Always’, but I jokingly mentioned that I would happily take it off their hands.
In a light-hearted exchange, we mused about the value and rarity of certain singles, acknowledging that while some items may not seem special, they hold a charm for collectors. The conversation also touched on whether I would include the upcoming Japan-only collection in the series. While plans are in place to add it, the update won’t come until November as the current collection wraps up in two weeks.
For all the vinyl lovers and Bon Jovi fans out there, this episode promises to be a nostalgic look back at the band’s trailblazing years. Don’t forget to check in for more updates and discussions as we continue this journey through music history!
