The cut connects directly to his 1979 John Cougar album and shows the rock and pop-rock side of his writing, with the raw vocal delivery and emotive songwriting that would become a bigger part of his appeal. As a promo single, this copy has a nice period-specific purpose: it was made to get the track in front of radio and industry ears. This is a 1979 vintage vinyl promo pressing priced at $10, making it an affordable John Cougar piece with more character than a standard album copy. The record is graded \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG+\u003c\/a\u003e, a solid everyday grade where a few light lines, sleeve marks, or small scuffs may be present, but not wear that should dominate the music. For someone building out early Mellencamp-related vinyl, the promo 12-inch format is the reason to notice this one.
