Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1976 release from the Award-winning singer/songwriter, originally released under the name Johnny Cougar.  Chestnut Street Incident was the first long player from the legendary John Cougar Mellencamp. The album is considered as invaluable by Cougar fans, not perhaps for its immediate quality or the fairly standard nature of the chosen material, but as a fascinating record of a young man desperately keen to make his first impression on the music industry. Future echoes of what was to come are in evidence, as are a huge dose of youthful cockiness and a degree of ambition rarely seen in a debut release. This reissue is bolstered with six bonus tracks from the sessions which didn't make the album's final tracklist, including a take on Bowie's 'Man Who Sold The World' and 'Hit The Road Jack'. Lemon. 2009.
