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.
