In a discovery that’s sending shockwaves through the music world, an unreleased Bay City Rollers music video — one that no fan even knew existed — has just surfaced in an abandoned film vault outside London.
The video, reportedly shot in the early 1980s during the band’s turbulent post-fame years, was immediately flagged by studio executives as “too dark, too disturbing, and wildly off-brand.”
What’s even more shocking: a former band member has come forward, confirming that the video was never meant to be seen by the public.
“We were in a strange place emotionally and creatively,” he admitted. “That video wasn’t for fans. It was for us. And frankly, it scared even us.”
Sources say the video explores themes of isolation, identity breakdown, and the loss of youth, a far cry from the Rollers’ usual upbeat image. The imagery is described as “eerily symbolic,” with slow-motion scenes, shadowy figures, and surreal metaphors that even insiders don’t fully understand.
Authorities are currently reviewing the tape, while rights holders are debating whether it should ever be released — or kept locked away forever.
Some who’ve seen snippets say it shows a very raw and emotional side of the band, potentially filmed as a farewell to their golden years — or a cry for help during darker times.
As the music world waits, one question remains:
What could possibly be so disturbing that the Bay City Rollers themselves wanted it erased?
The footage is currently being… analyzed, debated — and possibly restored for a limited release.
