In this hard-hitting exposé of life behind the scenes in the UK's first-ever boy band, author Simon Spence tells the harrowing story of all the boys who passed through The Bay City Rollers and the rise and fall of their notorious manager Tam Paton.
Researched through interviews with former band members, record producers and other industry professionals, this is the true and scarcely believable story of a pop phenomenon that conquered Britain, America and Japan but ended in recriminations, lawsuits and - in Paton's case - a prison sentence for sexual crimes.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Bay City Rollers were a boy pop band from Scotland who became worldwide teen idols in the 70s `Rollermania was born. Their hit singles included Shang-a-Lang, Summerlove Sensation, All of Me Loves All of You, Bye Bye Baby and Give a Little Love. Their story is one of worldwide pop hysteria coupled with an almost unrelenting behind the scenes darkness: rape, murder, suicide, deadly car crashes, organised drug-dealing, beatings, rent boys, prison sentences, sexual abuse of children, exploitation, manipulation, drug and alcohol addictions, self-hatred, missing millions, corruption, blackmail and much more. The band have now reformed and are currently on a world tour. No Australian or New Zealand dates are confirmed yet, but no doubt will be. They were extremely popular in Australia. When they appeared on Countdown it coincided with a total eclipse of the sun. The girls waiting outside the ABC studios completely missed this cosmic event so focused were they on getting a sight of the Rollers. Their story is one of worldwide pop hysteria coupled with an almost unrelenting behind the scenes darkness.
