On the tour, they covered "It's a Game", an unsuccessful 1973 single by String Driven Thing, to give them their final UK Top 20 hit (No. 16 in May 1977).

[18] The follow-up " You Made Me Believe in Magic" made No.34 in July in the UK and No.10 in the U.S., and this single was their final major success. [9]A second North American hit came with "Money Honey", written by Faulkner and Wood, which hit No.9 in the US. In Canada, it fared better, following its predecessor to the top, giving them their second No.1 in the RPM national singles chart on 13 March 1976.

Archived (PDF) from the original on 9 March 2021 – via worldradiohistory.com.In March 2011, a New York judge determined that the Bay City Rollers could move forward with their four-year-old lawsuit against Arista Records. Arista denied responsibility for the majority of the royalties, citing a New York statute of limitations. The statute limits plaintiffs from recovering damages post six years in contract disputes, which therefore would negate the Rollers' claims for royalties incurred before 2001. However, because Arista had continued to promise the Bay City Rollers their royalties in writing, the judge ruled that the statute was not applicable. [40] a b c Spence, Simon (2016).

Catalog

During the late 2000s, Ian Mitchell led his own Bay City Rollers band, which included lead vocalist Kyle Vincent. Mitchell was the only ex-Roller involved. By early 1975, they were one of the biggest-selling acts in the UK. The successful 1975 UK tour prompted newspaper headlines about the rise of "Rollermania" [10] (alluding to Beatlemania a decade before). The Rollers were the subject of a 20-week UK television series, Shang-a-Lang. After signing with Bell Records, the band's first hit was " Keep on Dancing" (UK No.9, 1971), a cover of a 1965 hit by the Gentrys. [9] [10] Upon this release's success, they made appearances on BBC One's Top of the Pops.
