Alan Wright, having played bass guitar with another Edinburgh based band, Threashold (the band which also included Les McKeown who went on to join The Bay City Rollers), believes he joined the band. However, Brian tells me that it was Tam Paton, their manager (who was also manager of The Bay City Rollers at the same time), who wanted Alan to become a member, although he never actually did.

As a side note, "Saturday Night" was also recorded by the The Bay City Rollers in 1973, the lead vocalist at that time was Nobby Clark. Bilbo Baggins' version was recorded around the same time. No one is really sure which version was recorded first, BCR or BB, although neither version succeeded.
