Bon Jovi have announced a vinyl reissue and deluxe expanded edition of their seminal 1986 album Slippery When Wet, arriving February 28th via Island/UMe.
Two vinyl pressings will be available, including a highly collectible liquid-filled disc limited to 1,300 copies worldwide ($99), as well as a picture disc limited to 1,500 copies ($39.98). In addition, a cassette reissue is also being released, with the tape and vinyl pressings containing only the original album tracks.
Meanwhile, a deluxe expanded 2-CD and digital edition includes the original album on Disc 1, plus a bonus disc featuring an acoustic version of “Wanted Dead or Alive,” remixes, and previously unreleased live recordings from the 1987 “Slippery When Wet Tour.”
Slippery When Wet stands as Bon Jovi’s most successful and best-selling album, having been certified 12-times platinum. The 10-song tracklist features three of the band’s staple tunes: “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and the western-inspired power ballad “Wanted Dead or Alive.”
While singer Jon Bon Jovi’s vocal issues have kept the band from touring in recent years, the band is still going strong nearly four decades later, coming off the 2024 release of their latest album Forever. A Hulu docuseries about the band was also released last year.
Below you can see the Slippery When Wet picture disc, liquid-filled vinyl disc, and deluxe CD edition, plus the full expanded edition tracklist. Pre-order via Bon Jovi’s online store.
