Joy to the World: Their Greatest Hits

Untitled

Joy to the World: Their Greatest Hits is the twelfth album by American rock band Three Dog Night, released in 1974. It is the follow-up compilation to Golden Bisquits, consisting of eleven (out of twelve) charted hits from the group's previous four studio albums (the top 20 hit "Pieces of April" was left off for reasons unknown), two charted hits that already appeared on their first greatest hits compilation ("One" and "One Man Band"), and non-charting B-side "I'd Be So Happy".
