The Bay City Rollers: Bay City Rollers

THE ARCHIES WERE the most radical rock 'n' roll group of the last seven years. And it's about time everybody owned up to their considerable accomplishments; the invisible gum gang proved for once and for all the absolute pre-eminence of the record over such throw-away accessories as the dust sleeve, the cash advance or the Artist, setting the stage for the ultimate, inevitable arrival of the most prominent aspect of rock of the 70's: the disintegrating role of the performer in rock 'n' roll. Period.
