実は、2 in 1の後者の元LPには"La Belle Jeane"の別バージョンが入っていて(別テイクではありません。曲を編集して、楽器を加えているものです)、この初CD化を、それこそこの2ヶ月ほど、ずーっと期待していたのに、ここに収録されているのはイギリスのオリジナルバージョンなんです(前者の"Be My Baby""Summer Love sensation"については、無事、アメリカバージョンですが)。あちゃー、って感じです(苦笑)。
This was a replacement of 2 Bay City Rollers albums for me! Their first released North American album, "Bay City Rollers" & their second one, "Rock N' Roll Love Letter" compiled on to 1 cd! Great value for the Bay City Rollers fan!

I have these albums on vinyl, but it nice to now have them on CD. While I do still have a turntable, it's nice to be able to take a copy of some of my favorite music anywhere I go in a digital format. Obviously, the songs on the first album are, well, a bit sophomoric, but on "Rock 'N Roll Love Letter," while not necessarily being brillian, with songs like "Eagles Fly," you can see where the Faulkner/Woods songwriting was beginning to come around and maturing, which songwriting team will yield more impressive results on later albums. Still, the two albums are a fun duo and bring back a lot of memories.
I remember watching the Bay City Rollers on Saturday Morning as a girl. I didn't think you would have any of there Albums on here until I looked for them. Really happy with my purchase I have been playing it my car on the way to work and it really brings back a lot of happy memories of me as a girl with my sister on Saturday morning. Thanks

I have these LPs from the 70s and the CDs are not quite the same. Although advertised as the U.S. albums these songs are the UK mixes from Rollin', Once Upon A Star, and Wouldn't You Like It? I was hoping to hear the extra instruments on La Belle Jeanne that appear on the U.S. version. The mix on Be My Baby is also the UK mix not the US mix. The US mix doesn't contain the piano chords at the beginning of the song but rather jumps right in with the opening chords. Having said all that, It's still a great CD containing 2 albums on one disc but if you already have the first 3 BCR UK CDs you're not getting anything here that you don't already have. I'd really like to see the alternate versions of these songs released someday.
