re: Sound of Joy (from a Sun Ra discog. site):
Studio recording, Chicago, late 1956.

Intended for release on Transition but never issued. Some items first appeared on Visit Planet Earth (1966). Two cuts featuring vocalist Clyde Williams were not released by Delmark but may appear on the CD version. [Chase]

Date and exact personnel are vexatious: Buzelin says 11/1/57; Art Hoyle says he was with Ra from late 12/55 to somewhere between 12/56 and 3/57. Delmark says that John Avant is present on trombone; Art Hoyle told Litweiler that he didn't know Avant at the time; Chase points out that there is a trombone on two cuts; Litweiler suggests Julian Priester; other personnel from Delmark jacket. Hoyle recalls recording for Transition in a studio on the West Side of Chicago, not at Universal as is usually claimed. Also issued as the second album in a two-album set, Monkey MY 40014.'

Also, according to that discograohy, the other material on Monkey MY 40014 is from It's after the End of the World recorded live in October and November of 1970 at Donaueschingen and Berlin.

Ah thanks for that, as this is the very record i have purchased today and disc two is definitely Sound of Joy but the first disc was a bit of a mystery to me, and from listening to it is a live recording.
