Rock N'Roll Love Letter is a rock album by the Bay City Rollers. It was a North America-only release, issued in early 1976 by Arista Records, catalog #4071.
Of the record's 11 tracks, two were lifted from the Rollers' 1975's UK release Once Upon a Star; seven came from Wouldn't You Like It?; and two were newly-recorded singles. The cover art features the same photo as Wouldn't You Like It?.
The album reached #1 in Canada on 27 March 1976, jumping from #25 to the top position in a single week to depose their previous album Bay City Rollers from the top slot.[2] In the U.S., it went as high as #31 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. Two singles from the disc made Billboard's Top 40: "Money Honey", which reached #1 in Canada[3] and peaked at #9 in the U.S.; and "Rock and Roll Love Letter", peaking at #6 in Canada (12 June 1976)[4] and #28 in the U.S..
To date, this album remains unavailable on CD, although all the songs can be compiled from other Bay City Rollers CDs.
