Despite Bruce Lampcov's muscular production, this second effort proved commercially unsuccessful and the band was dropped from Virgin, when Lindsay refused to countenance recording a cover version. Lindsay, McFie and Docherty then completed the follow-up album Creeping Up on Jesus in 1988 with session musicians - including drummer Blair Cunningham and horn men Gary Barnacle & John Thirkell, Craig Armstrong and Paul Wickens (keyboards).
Tracks on Swimmer were significantly polished versions of the tracks that had been played live up until then.
Lindsay and Raymond Docherty were joined by new guitarist Brian McFie, keyboardist/saxophonist Ian Ritchie (album recordings only), Allan Dumbreck (live performances) on keyboards and Dave Cantwell (live performances) replacing John Hendry on drums. By the time their debut album Swimmer was released on Virgin Records in 1986 the line-up had undergone notable changes.
