If you’re wondering where it all began for Simon & Garfunkel, here’s your answer - “Hey Schoolgirl” was their first single, released when they were 16-year-old high school students known as Tom & Jerry in 1957. You can really hear their Everly Brothers influence here - they’d later come back to that by including a live cover of “Bye Bye Love” on their final album as Simon & Garfunkel in 1970.

Garfunkel explained the song’s genesis in a 1990 interview with Paul Zollo:

    “Hey Schoolgirl” with its phrase “Woo-bop- a-loo-chi-ba” somewhat taken from “Be Bopa Lula,” Gene Vincent’s hit, was our attempt to remember an Everly Brothers song that we had both heard one summer. We were apart, Paul and I, in different places for the summer and at the end of the summer we had both remembered this great record by the Everlys and we were trying to reconstruct it… and we were getting it wrong! We were, in fact, writing [laughs] our own song, “Hey Schoolgirl, ” in an attempt to remember this Everly Brothers song. When we heard the real Everlys song we realized, “Well, that ain’t it, so the thing we were groping towards… is ours!” So we finished writing it and made a demo of it, and signed a contract with a small record company on the strength of it, because the guy was in the waiting room of the demo place, and we actually recorded it. It sold 150,000 copies"

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD+(+) . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b)            White Promotional Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 60:1.

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       SLEEVE : The record comes without picture sleeve, and will be shipped in a plain, white, generic white poly-lined protective 45-single sleeve
