JOY 



One of those occasions where I can do little more than point to a label's existence and provide a scan.  Joy would appear to have been a small independent or a DIY concern.  As far as I can discover, a single by The Dougan Sisters, 'What Colour Is God's Skin' b/w 'Daddy's Little Girl' was its only release.  The single came out in 1978 and had a catalogue number of JOY-101.  Both sides are basically just vocal and acoustic guitar - one sister providing each, I suppose - with bass guitar, pedal steel and synthesized strings chipping in occasionally.  One of the talent contest pictures on the Old Warrenpoint forum, from Northern Ireland, features Alma Horridge and a trio of young girls called the Dougan Sisters; they look about the right age to have performed on this record, and the oldest has an acoustic guitar....  Any information would be welcome.
