Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Hysterical fans scream as Bay City Rollers performed in Toronto Aug.11, many wearing tartan plaids, that the Rollers made popular. But many readers and students of rock are critical and bristle at comparisons between the Beatles and Rollers. It's kiddyrock, one says.
