By 1977, the Bay City Rollers had been playing the teen idol game for most of the decade. The group's members were understandably itching to break out of their teeny-bopper pop straightjacket and attempted to make such a change on It's a Game. Sadly, the group lacked the clout to make a full stylistic turnaround, so this album, half-penned by outside writers, represents an uneasy compromise between their classic pop/rock sound and the more AOR-oriented music they aspired to make.

Give a Little Love: The Best of the Bay City Rollers is a U.K. compilation that focuses primarily on the Scottish power pop group's radio hits and myriad cover tunes. There's little here for the average fan that isn't already available on less pricey single-disc collections like Arista's Definitive Collection or 1995's Absolute Rollers: The Very Best of the Bay City Rollers, and the lack of album cuts (specifically originals) kind of defeats the purpose of a big two-disc set, but all of the h   [ read more ]

The Bay City Rollers' second U.K. album was re-released with bonus tracks in 2004. Once Upon a Star was their piece de resistance, a 12-song set conceived in the first white-hot glare of superstardom, but unscarred, as yet, by the jealousies, resentments, and in-fighting that would ultimately bring the band down. Certainly it is difficult to find fault with any album that opens with that spellbinding remake of the oldie "Bye Bye Baby," closes with the one-two punch of "Rock and Roll Honeymoon" a   [ read more ]

The first Bay City Rollers album to see simultaneous world-wide release was also, in the eyes of the tartan faithful, the first to reveal a serious crack in the band's hitherto impregnable armor. Founder Alan Longmuir had been eased out in favor of teenage wunderkind Ian Mitchell, songwriters Bill Martin and Phil Coulter had moved on to groom other would-be teeny bop idols, and Dedication was the Rollers giant step toward both musical and critical credibility.
