1988 Spin Magazine Cover ​

1988-11

Jon's framed copy of the November 1988 issue of Spin magazine. This issue was particularly important beyond the Bon Jovi cover story promoting New Jersey, as it featured a spotlight on the AIDS crisis and offered a free condom attached to an inside page. Spin representatives explained that the free condom was offered to encourage safe sex practices, but many retailers refused to sell the magazine that month. ​
