For those liking Irish pub singalongs. If not, it is only worth checking out for "The Sound Of Retreat", a beautiful ambient instrumental, piano and saxophone. Iona sounds like it was recorded by Jessie Rae, got all the cliches covered with bagpipes and tinny Fairlight CMI strings and flute

I love the skids and Joy is a wonderful Atmospheric album. Richard jobson is a mighty fine writer in all guises, the skids never failed to be different and joy never disappointed when I bought it in 1981 age 14. , I must admit I love the album more now in my 50s you can connect with it in lots of ways .utterly brilliant.

This is a singular album. While I absolutely adore The Skids first three albums, this one remains my favorite for a couple of reasons: It remains timeless, unmoored by any trends of the day. And it was a radical departure from what anyone else was doing in the mainstream at the time.

To get Joy on CD, you can get the nice priced collection: The Skids - The Virgin Years

Don't know if this should be noted here on the release page?

Following the hit singles all those years ago the album was almost completely different.
However just have a listen. Totally under rated album IMHO.
