Wouldn't You Like It? was the third studio album to be released by the Scottish pop group, Bay City Rollers. The LP, issued in the UK in late 1975, saw a marked change in the group's musical direction: all the songs save one were the band's own compositions. The one outside-written tune, "Give a Little Love", was a smash UK hit, and the only single released from the album. The album also included, in the form of a giant letter, a free color picture book of the individual members, with a band picture on the front.

Contents

Seven of the tracks from the album would appear on Arista Records' 1976 US-only album, Rock N'Roll Love Letter using the same cover photo and artwork.

UK LP release, Bell Records #8002

All tracks written by Eric Faulkner/Stuart "Woody" Wood except where noted.

The spoken part of track 6 side 2 were lines from "Angel Baby" which was track 5 their 1975 album "Once Upon A Star" (And you know darling' that every time/ I heard them say/ Our love would die/ It only made me love you more each day).
