Rewind the memory. Forward the experience. Capturing stripped-down, acoustic, and alternate takes on his iconic roots-rock catalog, Rough Harvest by John Mellencamp is a fan-favorite compilation. The Rhody Rewind has recovered this original 1999 first pressing, factory-sealed on the Mercury label. This isn't a later reprint or remaster; it's an Out of Print (OOP) original 1999 release complete with its original hype sticker preserved in the shrink wrap.
At Rhody Rewind, we don't just "flip" media. We’ve inspected this gem to ensure its factory seal, red hype sticker, and vintage store tag are intact so you can buy with total confidence.
We believe in high-honesty. These are the actual photos of the sealed CD you will receive.
