Briefly...

Joy Records is a label owned by myself and producer Alan Jansson, formed in 1999 at the request of Roger Grierson, then head of Festival Mushroom Records to issue Jansson's productions which didn't fit elsewhere.

Lost in the mayhem of the last days of FMR, it moved worldwide distribution to Sony Music in 2002 where its first release, by 3 The Hard Way, was a New Zealand number one.

Releases are best described as sporadic and irregular.
