-> The original title for this album was 'Sons of beaches' among other ideas like 'Sixty-Eight' or 'I'll owe you one'
-> The title describes more the special attitude than the State
-> Jon says that in his opinion it was one of his biggest mistakes to name an album 'New Jersey' because later all the people wanted to know what it means and if
it has something to do with Bruce Springsteen which he thought was really anoying
-> This was the first western rock album that was officially released in the Soviet Union
-> Some teenagers (that loved, but also some that hated Bon Jovi) heard the material for this album through and helped to decide which songs should be on the
album and which not. This is the reason why the songs 'Stick to your guns' and 'Wild is the wind' are on it. Later these kids became famous as the 'Pizza Parlour Jury'
