A DIY label from Earls Barton, Northampton. This Joy appears to have been the vehicle for just the one record, which featured vocal and instrumental versions of a song called 'We Gave An Inch'. The lyrics of the song were by Joyce Boule-Hanna, who, according to the singles' picture cover, was also responsible for production and distribution. The music was written by Patrick Morris. There were no artist credits as such on the labels, but the vocals on the 'A' side were by Pinches and Bennett. The record was made through Beck Studios, of Wellingborough, and its catalogue number, BECK-778, was taken from a series used by that company. There are no dates on either the labels or the cover, but comparison with other Beck records indicates that it came out in 1978 or 1979. Joyce Boule-Hanna went on to enjoy success in a different field, literally - she founded the New Lodge vineyard.
