BMX Bandits: Serious Drugs: The Creation Anthology (Castle)
Terry Staunton, Record Collector, October 2005
SHOULD THE RENOWNED journalist and music archivist Pete Frame ever attempt one of his celebrated Rock Family Trees for the BMX Bandits, he may need to take out a second mortgage to pay for the extra ink. This is a group whose roots and branches spread so far across the Scottish pop landscape that a sudden sprouting of Kenneth McKellar wouldn't be too big a surprise.
