Synopsis
Album Description
Including "Bye Bye Baby", "I Only Wanna Be With You" and more. Plat. 2006
"This CD is a remake of a number of BCR tunes done by three of the original band members - Eric Faulkner, Stuart Wood and Alan Longmuir. Most of the tunes feature Eric Faulkner on lead vocals. Alan Longmuir offers his version of Keep on Dancin' which seems appropriate as he was there in 71' when the Rollers hit the charts for the first time with this tune (Faulkner and Wood joined the band later leading to their worldwide conquest in 74'). Stuart Wood, while being a very talented musician provides a good effort albeit vocally weak versions of "Give a Litte Love" and "You Made Me Believe in Magic". A nice offering is "Love Me Like I Love You" which wasn't included on their previous studio offerings despite it being a hit. While clearly not their best effort, it should find a place for those looking to keep their BCR collections complete."
Different from the original group

"When I bought this CD I wasn't expecting it to sound like the original because Les wasn't lead vocals, but if your a true roller fan you would want this for your collection."
Doesn't do justice to BCR

"The production on this CD is really awful. I don't believe that it does the performers justice, and it certainly does not offer a worthwhile remake of the originals."
Rolling without the teeny-bopper sound

"If you want the same sound as the typical BCR albums, this isn't for you. However, if you want to hear the behind-the-scenes Rollers without the sugary-sweet vocals, check this one out. Faulkner (the band's main songwriter) takes the lead in his alternative, harder sound of the Bay City Rollers without Les and with the added bonus of female harmony by Kass. Worth a listen!"
