Bon Jovi's 30th anniversary celebrations,
new remastered editions of their New Jersey album will be released this year. The Deluxe Edition will be a 2-CD set featuring the full album plus bonus tracks on the first disk, and unreleased demos from what was intended to be

The New Jersey Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions are set for release on July 1, although Australian music site
