I don’t think I really did.”In the book, Alan recalled how he and younger brother Derek formed the band at their home in Edinburgh and put on their first performance in a talent show in Princes Street Gardens.The Bay City Rollers would later become one of the biggest bands in the world.In 1975, Bye Bye Baby became their first number one single and the best selling record of the year.The following year, Saturday Night gave them their first number one song in the US, which Alan regarded as the pinnacle of their achievements.Alan recalled landing in America to hundreds of screaming fans in tartan clothes and scarves before the band was whisked by limo to their hotel.He wrote: “I would never make a comparison between us and The Beatles artistically but our reception in the US was the biggest and most intense since the Fab Four I’m sure of that.”But despite generating millions, the band famously saw little cash.
