Jon Bon Jovi's Sex Sells listening party

Back in 1998, Jon Bon Jovi was making what was possibly going to be his third solo album, Sex Sells. This album later morphed into a band album and became what is now known as Crush.

A recording from a listening party, where fans were asked to rate potential tracks for Sex Sells, was recently uploaded to YouTube. The sound quality is not great and there are people talking over it, but fans will recognise some of the tracks as early versions of songs that were eventually released on Crush, on the 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong box set, as B-sides on singles, or (in the case of "Real Life") on the soundtrack for EDtv.

Listen to the recording here:

Here's the track list:

1. Just Older
2. Hush
3. Save the World
4. Shadow Dancing
5. Good Ain't Good Enough
6. Stay
7. Real Life
8. I Got the Girl
9. You Can't Lose at Love
10. Gimme Some
