Bon Jovi plans to release 100 Million Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong, a collection of unheard songs.

Bon Jovi plans to release a mammoth five-disc box set titled 100 Million Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong, a collection composed almost entirely of unheard and unseen materials from the rock band's vast archive.

The box set, being released to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut recording in 1984, was personally supervised by the band, said a release posted on the group's website.

It will comprise three CDs of previously unreleased songs, a fourth CD with many of Bon Jovi's favourite previously released rarities from movie soundtracks and a variety of sources, and a DVD of never-before-seen video footage.

The box set will be released November 15.

In what is being considered a first for any box set, Bon Jovi has asked fans across the world to submit brief written comments via e-mail, some of which will be incorporated into the booklet accompanying the album.

Some of the previously unreleased songs, many of which are completed tracks that never made it onto albums, include Why Aren't You Dead?, One To Say Goodbye and Gotta Have a Reason.

The fourth CD, containing songs that have been previously released in limited formats, will include the movie tracks Good Guys Don't Always Wear White (from the film The Cowboy Way), Real Life (from EDTV), an original demo of the hit Always and B-sides like Temptation.
