About this product

Product Information

The Bay City Rollers were one of the brightest things to happen in the tumultuous 1970s, illuminating a dark decade marred by falling stock markets, a plummeting economy and industrial unrest. Alan Longmuir, an apprentice plumber from Edinburgh, was inspired by The Beatles to form a band in the 1960s. Firstly, he enlisted his brother and then his cousin and via throwing a dart at a map they eventually became the Bay City Rollers. Success was slow in coming but when it did it was beyond Alan's (and almost everyone else's) wildest dreams. A string of million selling records led to Rollermania - a mass-hysterical fan reaction not seen since Beatlemania. Like a wildfire it spread across the world. The Rollers' juggernaut was out-of-control. Alan Longmuir recounts his surreal journey from the Dalry backstreets to the Hollywood hills and back to being a plumber. Along the way he punctures some of the myths and untruths that have swirled around the group. Most of all, though, Alan captures the great adventure that a bunch of young boys from Edinburgh embarked on that for a few years threatened to turn the whole world tartan. Tragically, while finishing his memoirs Alan Longmuir was taken ill while on a holiday in Mexico marking his 70th birthday and died back in Scotland a short while later. It was his great desire that I Ran With The Gang should be released.

    Considering the item was shipped from the U.S. and arrived in 12 days I say that's pretty good. The seller dispatched very quickly after receiving my order, the item was well packed and exactly as described. I really can't fault this service. Highly recommended and will be happy to use again.

    Rarewaves are great. They accidentally listed a vinyl record as CD, I bought it, then when I told them, they instantly refunded me and said I needn't send back the record. This purchase was a CD. Rarew5are great for getting CDs of American bands that you'll have trouble getting here and their prices are great. Dispatch and arrival of CDs is excellent a definite top 5 star seller many thanks. I love Rarewaves, they're brilliant!!

  • Lifting the lid on The Bay City Rollers

    Superb book on a much often maligned band, shows graphically the rise and fall of bands, it also draws the hidden world of pop management into sharp focus.
