The Bay City Rollers — шотландская поп/рок-группа, одна из самых коммерчески успешных в первой половине 1970-х годов в Великобритании, продавшая в общей сложности (по данным BBC) более 70 миллионов пластинок.



Десять первых синглов The Bay City Rollers входили в UK Top Ten, два из них, «Bye Bye Baby» и «Give a Little Love» (оба — 1975) поднимались до #1. Два первых альбома группы — Rollin' (1974) и Once Upon A Star (1975) также возглавили британский хит-парад.

К началу 1975 года The Bay City Rollers стали самой популярной группой Британии. Но развернувшаяся по всей стране «rollermania» — массовая подростковая истерия, невиданная со времён The Beatles, — с приходом панк-рока закончилась так же быстро, как началась. В 1978 году группа (изменив состав) переименовалась в The Rollers, а ещё три года спустя прекратила своё существование окончательно.

Прим. после этого были еще два альбома (1982 и 1985 года) изданные только в Японии
