Niles,Polly Sunshine In My Rainy Day Mind: The Lost Album CD

Digitally remastered two CD set. The 1970 Ember Records album by actress/model/singer/songwriter Polly Niles, was for many years the stuff of internet rumor and legend, said to exist only in test pressing form. Now, it is finally released. Polly, who later appeared in the film Super Fly (1972), was a singer/songwriter from New York married to folk revival star, Ramblin' Jack Elliott. She signed with the London-based Ember label in 1969 and recorded an album that blended her songwriting with cuts by Stephen Stills, Goffin/King, John Barry and Bob Dylan. Only one track from Polly's album was ever released at the time - the gently psychedelic 'Sunshine In My Rainy Day Mind' on an Ember sampler release. Over the last decade, six tracks from Polly's Ember sessions have emerged on compilations, but now, newly remastered, they can finally be heard, as originally intended. This 2 set consists of twelve titles but has been expanded to over twice it's original length. Also included are cancelled mono singles, alternative mixes, works in progress, and some new 2019 mixes made from the original multi-tracks. This is an artist-approved release, with Polly on board as a consultant. And for the first time, Polly's story is told in a 3000-word liner essay by journalist, Charles Donovan.
