Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0078221461320 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Arista Manufacturer: Arista MPN: 14613 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Arista Release Date: February 08, 2000 Studio: Arista Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The mid-70s belonged to a group of hopelessly plaid Scotsmen who named themselves after a northern Michigan resort town. With an affect on fans that resembled Beatlemania in terms of screaming, fainting, and pledges of undying love, the Bay City Rollers enjoyed a string of U.K. pop hits along with modest American success. In retrospect, the band's music is still sugary enough to give listeners a toothache; however, there is a certain charming innocence to tunes like "Saturday Night," "Summer Love Sensation," and (of course) "Shang-a-Lang." Boy-band nostalgia, anyone? --S. Duda Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Underrated bandThere isn't a single song on here that I don't like. I was around 8-9 years old when the Rollers were at the height of the glory, and I only remember "Saturday Night" and "I Only Want To Be With You" so I guess I really missed out on their other GREAT songs! Apparently they were victims of the industry (and Les fell victim to a big head), but they really had talent and charisma. I hope they win their lawsuit. Rating: - Bay City Rollers: The Definitive CollectionGreat CD from the wonderful and fun Bay City Rollers. I was never really into them or anything, but I watched an episode of October Road and they were playing songs from this CD throughout the show and I just HAD to have it. Great stuff and makes ya feel like a kid again! Rating: - Rollermania is alive and well and still clad in tartanTruthfully, I was too young for Rollermania. And I wasn't a resident of the U.K. so I never experienced the full-on rage that existed that brief but sweet time when the Rollers ruled teenage hearts. A coworker recently turned me on to the delights of this battered band of brothers and others. Their music bespoke of a time that really didn't exist in the 70s, their songs depicting a time of Shang-a-Lang and Sha La La La so far removed from staggering gasoline prices, Studio 54 decadence and Watergate. ...

But overall, a good CD with interesting linear notes. Rating: - Great Retro PresentI purchased this for a Christmas gift for my sister. (yes..early shopping). We loved the Bay City Rollers growing up and watched them every Saturday on the Kroft Super Show. This is a great "you're not going to guess what I got you" gift for someone or even yourself who loves to relive the old days of this kind of music. |
