The Dark History Of The Bay City Rollers

What happened to the Bay City Rollers is one of the greatest scandals of the music industry. Former band manager Tom Paton controlled his charges and promoted them as wholesome teen idols while subjecting them to various forms of sexual abuse. Dazzled by sudden global fame and corrupted by Paton's unquenchable sexual appetites, the Bay City Rollers soon became part of his world of depravity, victimhood, crime and psychosis. Three years after they fired Paton, in 1979, he was finally convicted of gross indecency with teenage boys. Spence provides a no-holds-barred exposé of the sex, drugs and financial mismanagement based on interviews with former band members and their associates.
