Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Bachman–Turner Overdrive, often abbreviated BTO, were a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, founded by Randy Bachman, Robbie Bachman, Tim Bachman and Fred Turner in 1973. Their 1970s catalogue included five top-40 albums and six US top-40 singles (11 in Canada). BTO has five certified gold albums and one certified platinum album in the US; in Canada, they have six certified platinum albums and one certified gold album. The band has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads" (derived from the band's gear-shaped logo). Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Takin' Care of Business", "Hey You", and "Roll on Down the Highway", still receive regular play on classic-rock stations.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played their track, 'Givin' It All Away', on his 10th October 1974 show. It is not known how often he played their material, as there are not many tracklistings from the early 70's on this site. In 1975, Peel gave two stars ('ho-hum') in his review of their single, 'Hey You' in Singles Reviews, published in Sounds on 24th May 1975. After his death in 2004, it was later found out that Peel had 5 copies of their albums in his Record Collection: B.
