Mellow As Sunshine [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Direct from Sandys tape archive, these DIY bedroom demos feature his layered harmonies, harpsichord and guitar - all recorded during his time with the Millennium. Though unreleased and hidden away at the time they were recorded, these demos finally get their due on coloured vinyl! Includes new liner notes & photos! The CD has 7 bonus tracks! Sandy seemed to be in the eye of the kaleidoscopic tornado that was swirling and twirling around L.A. & so why didnt these songs surface all those years ago? It certainly wasnt for lack of talent, nor was it disinterest. In fact, it was quite the opposite. While in the Millennium, Sandy continued to write and record his own songs. After signing a publishing deal with Four Star Music, his new publisher did place a few of his songs - Rag Doll Boy, recorded by Thee Prophets and The Naked Truth; Terry Black recorded a version of Wishing Star, and These Are The Children and Goodbye Yesterday made an appearance on Tommy Roes sixth album, Phantasy. But for all of the songs he composed and recorded on his reel-to-reel tape machine in his small, Sunset Strip apartment, it seemed as if Four Star Music wasnt truly interested in promoting his songs. But in truth, it was an under-the-table handshake between Curt Boettcher and Four Star Music that squashed all hope of other artists hearing and recording Sandys songs. The songs on this album are a few of many compositions Sandy wrote and recorded between 1966 and 1968. With only one or two exceptions, every instrument, lead vocal and layered harmony is his, and as you will hear, its really no wonder that Curt had them hidden away. Taken from the original reel-to-reel tapes, dive into Sandy Salisburys sparkling world of sunshine pop. 1. Lot Of Love In Me 2. Do I Miss You 3. Justine 4. Silent, Lonely Night 5. Six O'Clock 6.
