some token appearances by Jody Stephens to help justify the "Big Star" label?

Arguably. Although I thought Jody contributed throughout... Some high points for me: "Kizza Me" (great trashy/sleazy guitar line after the chorus, and dig that out of sync, schizophrenic doubletracking on the vocal!), "Thank You, Friends" (deep cynicism with the backup singers used to great effect, and a fine radio-friendly guitar solo), "Stroke It, Noel" and "For You" for my pop string arrangement fix, and "Nighttime" for that gorgeous lap steel line. The "Femme Fatale" cover also, the weirdness of "Kangaroo," the desperation of "Dana"...damn, it's a good record.
