Bon Jovi's classic album, Slippery When Wet, is now available like you've never heard it before - in pure audio Blu-Ray, remastered from the original tapes, including six bonus videos in 5.1 and Stereo.

Bon Jovi's eponymous debut album was released in 1984, and "Runaway" became a Top 40 hit. Following its success, Tony Bongiovi sued the band, claiming he developed their successful sound; the group settled out of court. The following year, 7800° Fahrenheit was released and went Gold. Despite the band's respectable success, Bon Jovi weren't becoming the superstars they had hoped, and they changed their approach for their next album, Slippery When Wet.

Hiring professional songwriter Desmond Child as a collaborator, the group wrote 30 songs and auditioned them for local New Jersey and New York teenagers, basing the album's running order on their opinions. After ditching the original cover of a busty woman in a wet T-shirt for the title traced in water on a garbage bag, Slippery When Wet was released in 1986.

Supported by several videos that showcased the photogenic Jon, the album eventually sold nine million copies in the US alone, helping usher in the era of pop-metal. Two songs, "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Livin' On A Prayer," reached #1, while "Wanted Dead Or Alive" reached the Top Ten, and Bon Jovi were established as worldwide superstars once and for all.

Universal has gone back to the original master tapes to deliver fully uncompressed, high-resolution versions of many of your favourite albums on Blu-ray Pure Audio Disc. Mastered at 24bit/96kHz, Blu-ray Pure Audio Discs deliver the sound the artists originally heard in the studio when these classic albums were recorded. These discs provide all the recorded musical information. While convenient due to their small file size, today’s heavily compressed music files do not represent the true fidelity of the original album.

• Recordings are transferred from the original master tapes and delivered in high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz audio

• No compression is utilized, and the sound quality is vastly superior to MP3 or standard CD

• Three separate choices of audio file format for playback: PCM 2.0, Dolby True HD, or DTS-HD Master Audio (5.1 available where noted)
