Rollin', released in 1974, was the first full-length album by Scotland's Bay City Rollers. The album included three British chart hits ("Remember", "Shang-a-Lang", "Summerlove Sensation") and the debut of "Saturday Night", never a British hit yet a No. 1 smash in America, later.

2004 UK reissue

A 2004 CD reissue on Bell included four bonus tracks: "Are You Ready for That Rock and Roll" (the original B-side of the "Shang-a-Lang" single); "Bringing Back the Good Times" (B-side of "Summerlove Sensation"); "Bye Bye Barbara" (B-side of "Remember"); and "Hey C.B." (B-side of "Saturday Night"). Strange, then, that it didn't include the original single versions of "Saturday Night" and "Remember" as well, which both featured different (first) lead vocalist Nobby Clark. And yet another credible contender for an extra track would be the U.S. single and album version of "Summerlove Sensation" (w/strings) – not to mention final Martin/Coulter-penned 45 "All of Me Loves All of You" / "The Bump", which, however, appeared as an extra material on the "Once Upon a Star" CD issue.
