On September 30, 2015, in an interview for a, Jon confirmed that the album was going to be called This House Is Not for Sale, describing the album as a "really going back to the beginning." Describing the album, he also said: "This record is about our integrity. The album was the band's first not to be released by Mercury Records and its parent label Universal Music Group following the band's previous album Burning Bridges concluding their 32-year relationship. The album was reissued in 2018 featuring " When We Were Us" and "Walls" as bonus tracks.

In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number five on the UK Albums Chart, selling 21,448 units in its first week. This House Is Not for Sale debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 129,000 album-equivalent units, of which 128,000 were pure album sales. It is their first studio album with Phil X on lead guitar after replacing founding member Richie Sambora in 2013, as well as the first album to feature bassist Hugh McDonald as an official member after having played with the band in a touring/session capacity since 1994.Ĭritical reception was mixed, mostly describing the album as well-made but formulaic. Released on November 4, 2016, by Island Records. I'm not wanting any of the albums after that so I'm really hoping to cherry pick the ones I want at good prices.This House Is Not for Sale is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi. I might go for Crush aswell but that's because of the singles from that album which I do like. I would have thought the box set would be first and then by February start bringing the price down on the separate albums, it might end up being that the box set price drops quickly once February rolls around but the problem I face is that I only like certain albums, I don't want all the albums. These are catalogue albums so they should be priced accordingly. Even here in the UK right now where because of the whole Brexit thing things are more expensive anyway, they are £25 here which is pushing it I think. How they can sell some albums so cheap and others so expensive is beyond me. I think the price is shocking and Universal is behind it. I never grabbed a second hand Keep The Faith years ago when I should have but if there was a difference in sound quality I might go for a few of them again. I also have the original Bon Jovi, New Jersey and Slippery When Wet albums and I am happy enough with them. I have the original These Days pressing and it is on 2 Lps and the artwork is identical. More information on this set when we have it. For the box you’ll have to wait until 10th February next year. The albums are being released individually on vinyl (in November), so that’s an option if you wish to ‘pick ‘n’ mix’. This box has been on the schedule for a while and indeed the artwork above was found online for a slated 2014 release, so this may or may not be the finished visuals for the 2017 version.

It could be four LPs worth of ‘Extras’ or perhaps this set will bring the story up-to-date by including the as yet unreleased new album This House Is Not For Sale. There will be bonus discs with the moniker ‘Extras’ featuring “rare b-sides from Bon Jovi’s international single releases”.Īll the Amazon listings have this box down as a 24LP set, but what accounts for the four additional records isn’t totally clear. The 12 studio long-players are spread across 20 vinyl records (see listing below) with six of them being available on vinyl for the very first time. Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) will issue Bon Jovi The Albums in February next year, a massive vinyl LP box set featuring all the band’s studio albums (remastered), on 180-gram vinyl.
