One of the most influential guitarists of his generation, Johnny Marr stepped out on his own with the release of The Messenger in 2013 which reached the Top 10 on the UK album charts. Now, this seminal debut solo album returns in a stunning, limited-edition ‘messenger marble’ vinyl pressing, a must-have for fans and collectors alike.
The Messenger marked a pivotal moment for the iconic guitarist, solidifying his place as a solo artist after years of influential collaborations. It showcases Marr's songwriting talent and distinctive musical voice, moving beyond his iconic work with The Smiths. From the anthemic energy of the title track and ""Upstarts"" to the introspective beauty of ""New Town Velocity,"" the album is a journey through Marr's diverse musical landscape.
The album's enduring sonic brilliance, originally recorded in the UK and Berlin and mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, is perfectly captured on this collectible edition.
Whether you're revisiting a classic or discovering it for the first time, The Messenger remains a testament to Johnny Marr's enduring talent and a cornerstone of modern guitar music.
Experience The Messenger in a special new format with this reissue, available on stunning ‘messenger marble’ vinyl from 21st November 2025.
