"The Kid Inside" was the second album by John Mellencamp, who, at the time of the album's recording, was going by the stage name "John Cougar." The Album was not released in 1977, it was planned as the followup to Mellencamp's debut album, Chestnut Street Incident. Instead the record company held it back until 1982, when after Mellencamp's success, it finally was released.
