Swimmer (40th Anniversary)

To mark 40 years of Swimmer, the debut album from Scottish pop band The Big Dish, this special edition has been lovingly remastered and pressed on two shades of coloured vinyl.

Originally released in 1986, Swimmer introduced the band’s melodic, atmospheric guitar-pop sound, shaped by the thoughtful songwriting and distinctive vocals of singer-songwriter Steven Lindsay. Produced by Ian Ritchie, Glyn Johns, Paul Hardiman and the band, it includes the singles Slide, Prospect Street and Christina’s World.

Over the years, Swimmer has earned lasting acclaim as the foundation for later releases Creeping Up on Jesus (1988) and Satellites (1991). Remastered by Paul McGeechan, pressed by Seabass Vinyl and released by Past Night From Glasgow. Steven Lindsay’s solo album Chords & Colours arrived on LNFG in July 2026.
