The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore (album)

The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore is the second North-American studio album by the American pop group The Walker Brothers. Released in 1966 the album was the group's fourth overall.

Portrait was not released in the USA or Canada. In its place Smash Records compiled The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore as the group's second American album.^[1] This alternate album shifted around the running order even more so than Introducing the Walker Brothers altered the group's début and substituted the majority of the album's tracks leaving only "Just For a Thrill", "Old Folks", "People Get Ready" and "Take It Like a Man". The rest of the album was filled out with A-sides, B-sides and tracks from their first EP I Need You. The final track "Don't Fight It" was never released anywhere else.
