“Give It to Me Now” (1973) – Bay City Rollers * Written and produced by Bill Martin and Phil Coulter * UK LP: Rollin’ (Bell)
The Bay City Rollers’ first few albums stocked up on songs that paid tribute to the romantic concerns of early sixties teen idols. Now and then, though, their historical and geographical coordinates (i.e., glam-era Great Britain) would manifest loudly on BCR wax. “Give It to Me Now,” for example, is a sultry re-do of a glitter torpedo that Kenny had ridden up the the UK charts the same year.
