Dave in SoDak:

So, "New Girl in School" - I don't know exactly who wrote it, but of the three or four covers I've heard of it, my absolute fave is the version Alex Chilton did on his "A Man Called Destruction" from 1995. Also of note on that album, "What's Your Sign, Girl?" Brilliant.

A white Panasonic ball radio was used as a prop on Vinyl on HBO.

"New Girl In School" was written by Jan Berry, Roger Christian, Brian Wilson, and Bob Norberg. b side of Jan & Dean's "Dead Man's Curve" released Feb '64. great show Evan!

Signed, sealed, delivered was on the I'm In You album which pretty much cemented Frampton as a teeny bopper flash in the pan, despite some good tunes on the album.

lkrasner, in around '73-ish, the big AM station in town was throwing out free 7"'s at a drive-in burger joint called the Barrel. I showed up on my Schwinn and picked up a freebie - "Big Star "Big Star" with the B-side being "Big Star" instrumental - no vocals. In 1984 my klepto college roommate stole it...
