Jack & Diane / I Need A Lover

Originally released on Riva 210. Credited to John Cougar, this was Mellencamp's first and only #1 hit on the Bilozoard Hot 100. By the following summer, he had shed his name of its "show business" fakery, embraced "Mellencamp," and went on to have a string on classic hits and LPs through the mid-1990s. This is a like-new copy of the rarely seen Riva reissue (no identifying marks to indicate its status as a reissue).
