Messages (album)


Messages is the debut studio album by English singer and musician Steve Swindells, released in 1974. Produced by his manager Mark Edwards, Swindells felt the production poor despite the presence of quality musicians.
A follow up album Swallows was recorded, mastered and test pressings manufactured, but "Edwards had blown Steve’s deal with RCA by sweeping everything off the managing director’s desk with his umbrella in a drunken/druggy rage". The 2009 re-issue of the album includes a bonus CD of this previously unreleased second album.
