Question: Here Comes My Girl was an early hit for the best known of Tom Petty's bands, in which year?
Context: Echo is the tenth studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.  First released in April 1999, the album reached number 10 on the "Billboard" 200 aided by the singles "Free Girl Now", "Swingin'" and "Room at the Top", which hit numbers 5, 17 and 19 respectively on "Billboard"' s Mainstream Rock Tracks in 1999.  The album was the band's last collaboration with producer Rick Rubin, and was also the last to feature contributions from longtime bassist/vocalist Howie Epstein, who died of a heroin overdose in 2003.  "Echo" was certified Gold (500,000 copies sold) by the RIAA in July 1999, only three months after it was released.  "Echo" is the only Heartbreakers' album to contain a lead vocal from another member of the band: Mike Campbell on "I Don't Wanna Fight".  An outtake entitled "Sweet William" appeared as the B-side (or second song) on the "Room at the Top" CD single. The Rickenbacker 620 is a solid-body guitar manufactured by the Rickenbacker International Corporation (RIC).  It is part of the 600 series of guitars which all share the distinctive "cresting wave" styled body.  The Rickenbacker 620 features triangular fret markers, a thick rosewood fret board, a maple body with neck-thru construction, and maple neck.  The 620 also comes standard with a stereo output jack.  The guitar's pickups are twin single coil 'Hi-gains'.  The Rickenbacker 620 sports the Rickenbacker signature, an 'R' style floating tailpiece.  There is a twelve string version of this guitar available, the Rickenbacker 620/12.  The Rickenbacker 620 comes in fireglo, mapleglo, jetglo, and midnight blue finishes from the factory.  The 620 is less popular with big recording artists as its siblings the 330 and 360, however some guitarists have consistently used them including Christopher Owens of Girls, Chris Urbanowicz of Editors.  Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers acquired the first 620/12 12-string (made in December 1963, actually called a prototype 625/12) in 1977, and has used it on hits such as Listen to Her Heart and Here Comes My Girl.
