The Limited Edition Box Set is a re‐release of two separate CD’s plus a DVD.

The box is a cardboard sleeve containing the two jewel case CD’s plus the cardboard sleeve DVD. Both CD jewel cases have their separate original barcode, that are not the Limited Edition Box Label: 07502139112 and 73145400321 respectively.

The DVD from live recordings from 1998 and music videos are low quality possibly mono audio. The DVD may have been been originally released in 2007 as a benefit for Special Olympics International.

Note: This Limited Edition Box does not (and never has) had the original “Backdoor Santa” on Volume 1. It was replaced with “I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas”

Note 2: Disk 1 may still show “Bon Jovi Backdoor Santa” in the on disk silkscreen track titles; however the case, sleeve and audio are all the replaced song (above).
