Joy Unlimited - Schmetterlinge. CD. (Garden Of Delights - CD111) Originally released on vinyl on the legendary Pilz label, now appearing for the first time on CD. Packaged in the original cover artwork with 32-page booklet. With 4 bonus tracks from 1971: 2 ones from a 7" single, one from a sampler LP and one broadcast live.

Joy Unlimited - Overground. CD. (Fallout - FOCD2073) This psych-tinged German crew are best-known for the 1971 progressive masterpiece Schmetterlinge (‘Butterflies’), but their 1970 debut was just as good. Confusingly released as Overground in Germany, as Turbulence in the UK and as Joy Unlimited in the United States, it’s a superb blend of psychedelia, funk and pop, boasting the powerhouse vocals of Joy Fleming, an array of guitar and organ textures and breaks and samples galore. It makes its long-overdue CD debut here, along with three rare bonus tracks, and is sure to become a firm favourite with DJs and psych-pop fans alike.

Joy Unlimited - Reflections. CD. (Garden Of Delights - CD132) Third album (1973) of the German band from Mannheim, now with 10 bonus tracks. Progressive with a touch of jazz, blues, and ballett music. Very skilful musicians, playing flute, saxophone etc. Now with singer Ken Traylor instead of Joy Fleming.
