Shallow Water is the debut album by Servant, and also served to launch the new label Tunesmith Records[1] in 1979.

The gatefold jacket opened to reveal a photo of the cover scene (people, furniture and all) being washed away in the tide.

The album was originally issued in Canada on red vinyl,[2] but later pressings were in standard black.

In 2006, Shallow Water was reissued on CD by Retroactive Records.
