To celebrate the 40th anniversary 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, the album features the singles Slide , Prospect Street and Christina's
World , which helped establish The Big Dish as one of Scotland's most promising
alternative pop acts of the 1980s. Over the years, Swimmer has earned lasting acclaim
as the foundation for the band's later releases, Creeping Up on Jesus (1988) and
Satellites (1991), it remains an essential chapter in The Big Dish's catalogue.
Remastered by Paul McGeechan, pressed by Seabass Vinyl and released by Past
Night From Glasgow.
Steven Lindsay released his new solo album Chords & Colours with LNFG in July 2026
which was praised in The Scotsman, The Herald, The Scottish Daily Express & more.
