The musicians were never credited on the original LP, and their identities remain a mystery to this day. However, given that the album was produced by TAKT, a label primarily known for its jazz releases, it is widely believed that prominent figures from Japan's jazz-rock scene participated in the recording. The mystery surrounding the personnel only enhances the album's reputation as one of the great hidden gems of its era. A fascinating intersection of early 1970s Japanese new rock and jazz-rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Release: YS-10107 (October 25, 1971)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiner Notes: Shinichi Ogawa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n[[Selling Points]]\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected classic titles from NIPPON COLUMBIA's extensive catalog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHidden gems of psychedelic jazz-rock produced by the TAKT label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiner notes by Shinichi Ogawa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]COJY-9611[[Artist]]The Mannheim Rock Ensemble","brand":"Nippon Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Rock of Joy \/ Album \/ LP Black","offer_id":48496290857205,"sku":"COJY-9611","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/4549767379616.jpg?v=1785523508","url":"https:\/\/lightintheattic.net\/products\/rock-of-joy","provider":"Light in the Attic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
