John Cougar Mellencamp – Chestnut Street Incident LP Mainman MML 602 NM 1976 UK

An early and harder-to-find release from John Mellencamp, released under the name John Cougar, Chestnut Street Incident captures the raw rock sound of his early career before he became one of America’s biggest heartland rock artists. This album offers a fascinating look at his beginnings and is a great addition for collectors looking to go deeper into his catalog.

This 1976 UK import pressing is a beautiful collector copy, with the vinyl graded Near Mint (NM) for exceptionally clean playback and minimal signs of wear.
