BON JOVI – All Time Best 1984-2024 [Japan-only Super Deluxe Edition 3x SHM-CD] (2024)

To celebrate BON JOVI 40th anniversary, at the end of 2024 Universal Music Japan prepared “All Time Best”. Another Greatest Hits? Well, this one is a little different. First, it was only released in Japan… Two, the songs were hand picked by their Japanese fans. As a result, you do get the big hits, but there also some deep cuts you don’t normally see on a Bon Jovi greatest hits set.

There’s a regular 1-disc release, but this “All Time Best 1984-2024 [Japan-only Super Deluxe 3 x SHM-CD Edition]” packs 50 songs all over 3 SHM-CD (plus a Blu-ray), all remastered.
This is the most complete BON JOVI ‘Best’ you can find. It’s chock full of hits and not hits, with 50 songs covering their entire career from the 1984 debut all the up to the 2024 release of ‘Forever’. This is a pretty freaking great compilation and if you want a career expansive set, you aren’t going to get any better than this right here. The only misstep I see is that one of my all time favorite Bon Jovi tracks is missing and that is “Something To Believe In”. Outside of that, it is stellar.
Being a Japanese release, you are going to get “Tokyo Road” obviously, but it is the other songs you wouldn’t expect that are what makes this set great.

First off you get three songs from the debut including “She Don’t Know Me” and “Burning For Love”, but you also get a couple from 7800 Fahrenheit which is so often overlooked by the band. You get “Only Lonely” and “Tokyo Road”. Then of course it is the normal songs you expect and there are quite a lot of those as this band has had a ton of hits.
I was happy to see “Dry County” which is one of the best songs they’ve ever written, “Blood on Blood”, “Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars”, “Hey God” and “Wild is the Wind”. Including these songs shows me some thought was put in to this release.
Highly Recommended
