[...] we can keep doing this as the evening goes on we can keep thinking of a few titles of everyday phrases... (couldn't get what the last sentence was)
She says, “I don’t think they [=U2] got one from a porno movie, though” (I actually attended this very gig, she was quite chatty throughout the whole concert indeed)

Hopefully one day these will see the light of day......

The other day I started looking for some old PJH demos to play to Amanda - stuff Ms.H hasn’t even put on her Rarities and Demos or whatever she called it. Probably, principally, the demos of ‘Glorious’ and ‘Slow-Motion-Movie-Star’ which I recorded on my own albums.

That would be amazing... "Glorious" and "slow motion movie star" are absolutely masterpieces, and Mick did a an outstanding job with his versions... i've always wondered if there could be PJ's demos, glad they actually exist.

Funny how he's playing "from her to eternity" in the clip, that's one of Polly's all time favourite songs.

Did you see his other comment?
pavelshadow21 Compilation that Polly released has mostly b-sides from her singles, also some rare track from other compilations and few demos. Recent rereleses of her albums had companion releases with demos. So I think there was no place for her original demos of Glorious and Slow Motion Movie Star. I really like your versions, Mick, but I really like to hear her versions too

MickHarvey There’s a lot more than that too
I doubt she has anything like the Neil Young archives series, but this gives me hope that there's a bit we haven't heard yet.

As far as I remember, she gave the song to Mick Harvey for one his albums and the only proper recording we can find is his version:

Yes!
Polly's guitar part has exactly the same melody, just slightly different speed.

Still no updates after a whole month... either it was a scam or worse it was Pearl Jam

Update: the owner confirmed it's not PJ, just "some random band".
