ammonium polysulfide solution
Is ammonium polysulfide a dissolved gas or a solid or a liquid?
Reason I'm asking is I want to distill a solution of ammonium polysulfide solution, will all the red come across as a distillate or be left behind?

Yes.
Distilling ammonium polydulfide will give you a mxiture of NH3 and H2S gases, some ammonium sulfide and polysulfide, and some H2Sx.
The red is caused by both sulfur and polysulfide.
Why do you want to distill it?

Thank you, so it's going o b rather stinky in other words? wouldn't the NH3 and H2S remain in solution for the most part? would this best be done with
an aspirator?
To remove it from a post-reaction willgerodt rearrangement so that the primary products can be extracted with hot water.
I was told you can use some other method, without the removal of the fluids, however Organic Reactions Vol. III and a Chinese patent recommend
evaporating of the reaction fluids to dryness then extracting with very hot H2O.
