"Joy" is a three-song seven-inch EP by The Minutemen. Recorded not long after the release of their first EP "Paranoid Time", it was the first release that the Minutemen had issued on their own New Alliance Records label in 1981. Their prolific nature would continue when their first full-length album "The Punch Line" hit record store shelves three months after the release of "Joy".

The EP also appears as part of the "My First Bells" cassette and the "Post-Mersh Vol. 3" CD, both on SST Records. SST reissued the EP in 1987 not long after buying New Alliance Records from Mike Watt.

Miscellanea

*According to the record's liner notes, the entire EP was recorded and mixed in five hours.
*On the original sleeve, D. Boon's vocals are semi-facetiously credited as "yelling".
*When SST took over the New Alliance label and back catalogue, the label redated the copyright on the EP to be 1987, causing some fans to believe that the EP contained previously unreleased material. The EP was also reissued as a 10" colored vinyl EP and in 1988 as a three-inch CD.
*Dez Cadena of Black Flag co-wrote "More Joy."
