The Messengers were my 1st ever 'Live' band when I went to the Glasgow Apollo to see Ultravox in 1984. Pity there wasn't more from them ....

Funny story (kinda) - I bought Shiftin Air Affair from Woolworths in Paisley or Glasgow in the mid-late 80s, but it had no sleeve. About 7 or 8 years later I was looking at furniture in MFI in Portsmouth and, in amongst the random sleeves in the record storage section, there was a sleeve for Shiftin Air Affair! Quick chat with a member of staff and off I went to reunite the sleeve and the vinyl!
