Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet Pre-Production Demos (New Jersey 1986)

Studio demos (most likely from Century Productions) showing the band rehearsing the songs for the their record-breaking Slippery When Wet album. If you want to follow the process of each song's evolution, start with the basment demos:

And listen to the final album after this one.

Very interesting on here is that Richie actually takes over the lead vocals on Never Say Goodbye and the fact that all songs that made the final album cut were already written at this stage. With New Jersey it is known that some tracks were added very late, like Born To Be My Baby or Bad Medicine. Lay Your Hands On Me was even written in Vancouver.

When coming from the Basement demos it's obvious that the verses of Take Me Home merged into I'd Die For You. In the end the verses would be replaced again, so that the final I'd Die For You and Take Me Home ended up being completely different songs. It's interesting to see that transition though.

I'd Die For You came from a different tape and hence the sound is quite different. I only cleaned these and since the frequency response was rather low I shied away from screwing on the sound too much. Would've only made it worse in my book.
