Gioia e Rivoluzione is the third compilation of the jazz fusion band Area and was released in 1996. This album concentrates exclusively on the albums released on the Cramps label. Just like the first compilation "Anto/Logicamente", this album contains "Citazione da George L. Jackson", the non-LP b-side of "L'internazionale". "L'Internazionale" appears as well, but instead of the studio version released on the single (which has only re-appeared on the other compilation "Area '70" so far), it's the live version contained on the "Are(a)zione" album. The studio version, as of 2014, is not available on CD.
