Although John Mellencamp is probably the least nostalgic rock star on the planet — he admits to knowing he struck creative gold during the sessions for his landmark Scarecrow collection.

Set for release on November 4th is the deluxe reissue of the 1985 classic. The new box set includes two CD’s of newly remixed and remastered songs — plus previously unreleased bonus tracks and alternate versions, a booklet full of rare photographs and all new liner notes by acclaimed author and music critic Anthony DeCurtis.
