Editorial Review: Album Description: Originally released in 1983. Features newly remastered sound and upgraded packaging which includes lyrics and complete artwork. Bonus track is the acoustic version of "Pink Houses" (first issued as the b-side of "Authority Song". Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Next Step...and the First of MellencampAfter the strong but Top 40 style of "American Fool", this album took John a solid step further; the radio ready "Crumblin' Down" broke no new ground, but the biting commentary of the second single, "Pink Houses" showed his disdain for American society; and "The Authority Song" was a fun anti-establishment rant.

I bought the CD upon reading about it, and that version alone was worth the price of admission.

Rating: - Star Making AlbumThis album is a lot of fun and turned Mellencamp into a star Browse for similar items by category:
