Rosetta Stone was a Northern Irish pop rock band from Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, which included the ex-guitarist of the Bay City Rollers, Ian Mitchell. Ian was briefly a member of the Bay City Rollers, one of "the first of many acts heralded as the 'biggest group since the Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period (nicknamed "Rollermania"), they were worldwide teen idols and one of the best selling British bands. More info below. Please see photos for song titles. CONDITION: Sealed New Old Stock (NOS) unplayed 33 rpm record presumed to be in MINT condition; due to original factory shrink-wrap the cover appears as BRAND NEW. Note: there will be a small notch in one of the corners as represented in the photos. (Click on photo top left to super-size for best view.)

All records properly stored in a PET-FREE / SMOKE-FREE environment Rosetta Stone released two albums and one EP before dissolving in 1984. The genesis of Rosetta Stone came in 1973, as childhood friends Mitchell, Terry McKee, Damian McKee, and Colin McKee formed a band called Young City Stars. They played local clubs and dance halls, often opening concerts for the Bay City Rollers. In early 1976, Mitchell left the Young City Stars to join the Bay City Rollers. He was replaced by guitarist Andy LeGear. Mitchell would return later that year as the group, now managed by Rollers manager Tom Paton, changed their name to Rosetta Stone. In 1977, Rosetta Stone signed with Private Stock Records. They appeared on T-Rex Marc Bolan's TV show "Marc" performing their single, a cover of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love” included on this album. This, their debut album, was released in the U.S. in May 1978. There have been a number of Rosetta Fests where the band have performed together including a a sold-out 2012 reunion show in their hometown. _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680))
