John Mellencamp's 1984 landmark Scarecrow launched five Top 40 singles: the Top 10 hits "Small Town," "Lonely Ol' Night," and "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. (A Salute to '60s Rock)," along with rock radio staple "Rumbleseat" and the haunting opener "Rain on the Scarecrow." The album sold more than 5 million copies and remains one of his most successful efforts. It's being reissued in a new stereo mix, while a bonus disc features 11 rare B-sides, rough mixes and demos. (A deluxe box set includes the new album mix on 180-gram half-speed mastered vinyl as well as the new stereo and Atmos mixes on Blu-ray, plus a poster, lithograph and 7" reissue of the "Small Town" single.) Anthony DeCurtis has contributed liner notes for both editions.
