The Alternative New Jersey ?....
Cast your mind back to 1988, its the end of August and the band have recorded upwards of 30 songs for New Jersey. The original idea was that it would be a double album, except rumour has it Polygram wouldn`t pay them the money for it, especially if it copied Slippery's success!!.
So what I have done is take all the tracks from that period and imagined what
Disc 2 might have looked like. Some of the songs like Cadillac Man were written during touring, so maybe I`m cheating, but its my page so who cares?...Anyway, have a look, use your imagination and see what you think
So you would have the normal Disc 1

Then you would have Disc 2:Love Is WarHouse Of FireLets Make It Baby (v1)Judgement DayRiver Of LoveNow and ForeverGrowing Up The Hard WayDoes Anybody Really Fall In Love AnymoreBackdoor To HeavenLove HurtsCadillac ManIn AmericaRosie

So do you think it would have been as big a success? Mail me with your thoughts
