Elevator is a 1979 rock album by the Bay City Rollers. Having replaced longtime lead singer Les McKeown with Duncan Faure, the group shortened their name to simply The Rollers, and pursued a more rocking, power-pop sound than their previous work.

The album, released by Arista, was critically acclaimed but poorly received commercially. Neither the album itself or any single releases would hit the charts.

The album was reissued on CD in 2008, with no bonus cuts however.

Music

Dave Thompson of AllMusic wrote that the album featured a hard rock, AOR direction.^[1] Billboard felt the music was reminiscent of 1965-66 era Beatles,^[2] with Trouser Press even comparing the album to the Beatles' Rubber Soul (1965).^[1]
