Editorial Reviews

Product Description

First ever UK CD release for the Bay City Rollers 1979 studio album, Elevator, the first to feature new vocalist Duncan Faure and includes the single 'Turn On Your Radio'. In a desire to move away from the teen-pop image, the band shortened their name to The Rollers and recorded this album which is closer in spirit to great Pop/New Wave albums from The Records and Shoes than their other releases. Booklet features - for the first time - original European LP artwork, sleeve notes - overseen by guitarist Eric Faulkner - lyrics to all the songs and pictures of the related singles sleeves. Completely remastered by Tim Turan. 7Ts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elevator, February 9, 2008

The best BCR album yet! I like the heavier rock feel of the album and the songs are well written. All Roller fans sholud add this to their collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I was young, so young, I was eleven", July 8, 2008

By	R. Pennell (NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first got the cassette of "Elevator" for my eleventh birthday, I was convinced my mom had bought an album from the wrong group...didn't sound a thing like the songs I'd been recording off the Bay City Rollers Kroft TV show, and what was with the big scary red pill on the cover? Trip to the record store to see their photos on the back of the record assuaged my fears. Good thing, too--over time, this album went on to become one of my all-time favorites. That cassette rotted away into unplayability a decade or so ago. How thrilling to finally have this classic on CD. To be honest, not every song is a gem. But there are moments on this CD that are, to me, at the peak of what rock music can be (okay, they got me young, I may be a bit biased here). The Rollers left their poppy "Saturday Night" sound far behind them for this album, but apparently it was an uphill climb, and the old sound caught up with them later. Ah, well, for THIS album (and to a slightly lesser degree, Voxx and Richochet) the Rollers reached for something great, and caught it.
